There have been lots of exciting things happening at Cebu Children of Hope School lately. 

Amy_blog_9.22_1Reading challenge finished recently and the winners took a trip to a local used bookstore and each got to choose a cool book.  All of the kids who participated in reading challenge are on a field trip today to the local library.

Amy_blog_9.22_2We have completed our first quarter of school and conferences finished up last week.  The teachers shared about each of the students in their class with the houseparents and select staff for three afternoons. It was great to hear so many fun stories and positive things that are happening in each classroom.  We have a wonderful group of dedicated teachers and it was exciting to spend time discussing the kids progress with them.

Three new students started this second quarter already and three more will be starting tomorrow.  This is an unique and awesome thing about Cebu Children of Hope School.  Kids can start school as soon as they are admitted to CSC.  Exciting!  Pray for our new kids and teachers as they adjust to their new school and classroom.

Keep checking back at our blogs to hear more stories and see more pictures of all the exciting happenings at CCHS!  United Nations Day is fast approaching in October!

Tammy Vosika Winds Down

Jan. 12, 2013By: Paul Healy

It is with a mixture of sadness and appreciation that we announce that, after eight years of teaching at Children of Hope School and being a member of our Cebu staff, Tammy Vosika will be ending her service with CSC.  Tammy has been such an important part of our school and will be very much missed by the students at CHS, as well as the teachers, CSC workers and staff members. tammy_and_kids

Tammy has taught in Level C at CHS and has handled American Studies for the students who are going to the U.S. for adoption. She has worked with the Foster Friends program and headed up the Day of Hope program for CSC in Cebu.

We are so thankful to God for Tammy, and the way that she has used her talents though our ministry for the past eight years. Many children have been impacted by her.

We look forward to seeing what God has in store for Tammy in the next chapter of her life.

Habitat for Humanity Partnership

Dec. 7, 2012By: Matt Buley

We are proud to announce a new partnership between CSC and Habitat for Humanity (HFH). It means new homes for 20 CSC employees!

The partnership is due to the hard work of our own Joel Reasoner, and especially his dad, Dr. Paul Reasoner of Bethel University. Paul has been raising money, and he and Joel have made excellent connections with the leaders of HFH in the Philippines. We are thankful for the eager support of Habitat's leadership. They have joined Paul and Joel to provide a great blessing to the people who care for CSC's precious children.

You might wonder why any CSC employees would need HFH homes. The number one factor is the cost of land in the Philippines. For many Filipinos, that land cost eliminates the ability to own their own home.

Habitat for Humanity has jumped in and provided land and expertise. Paul is hard at work raising funds to build. These great partners are hoping this is just the beginning, and so are we!

Thank you Paul, Joel and Habitat for Humanity. We are proud to be associated with you.
