Some Blessing Hands Projects

Old Taubu Village is building its school with the help of Blessing Hands. They all worked together to level and prepare the ground. The old school suffered from age, civil war, and typhoons. We are seeking donors to sponsor 10 schools this year. You can sponsor a school for $1,400.

Email Us Here to Sponsor a School for $1,400. Our goal is to give solar panels, roofs, wood for furniture, and other items to 10 Chin State Schools in Myanmar this year.

The Taubu School is 24 feet by 120 feet and will serve both Old and New Taubu Villages.This jungle school will serve about 91 students of all ages. They will need whiteboards, books, school uniforms, and many other items. They will make their own wooden benches, desks, bookcases, and classroom petitions. We have given Old Taubu School $5,400 for wood, concrete, a metal roof, etc. Blessing Hands does not usually fund construction projects, but the Taubu elders agreed to construct their own school instead of us supporting their usual Summer English Camp for two years. They have bought some supplies in India.

Thailand's En Hui School is Having an English Competition.

Fifty-three students are practicing their English hoping they will receive a reward during En Hui School's English Competition. Blessing Hands has supplied cash awards and certificates. Grades 7 through 11 will compete for the awards presented during a Sunday worship service. $250 will cover the competition's expenses. If you would like to support the English Competition, please get in touch with us.

95 Yao Minority Students Get New Shoes and Socks.

Students in a mountainous area of Longfu Township, in Du'An County, received two pairs of socks and shoes recently. This project funded students from three remote Chinese primary schools. The change people give in our cash jars at three local Chinese restaurants go for school supplies, books, art supplies, small playground equipment, and small items for these students.

Vabie Hlaotlei and his Widowed Mother, Paw Hla We help some families like Vabie and his mother, who is a widow from the civil war in Myanmar. The Guo children in China who lost their mother in an arson fire are doing well. The oldest girl has graduated and gone to work, and Huanhua and Huajian are still receiving our school support. Their father is working again as a migrant worker.
