Hope In His Mission
The children of the orphanage all come from histories that have been challenging, abusive or unstable. In most cases they have been through unimaginable circumstances that a child should never experience. They have been brought away from these tragedies to live in a home called the “Asha Mission home�
Asha, meaning hope.
This word is beautifully meaningful for each child’s individual life, they live in hope of what the bright future holds, leaving what has happened to them in the past and moving forward.
