“QUALIFYING THE PALACE OF MERCY FOR GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE TO RECEIVE AID FOR OUR ORPHANS” (May 24, 2018 update)

HHTH has to meet government requirements for the buildings and surrounding environment before we can receive orphans into the Palace of Mercy.  We first must receive our NPO (non-profit organization), then meet certain physical requirements. One is to have the POM painted at a certain quality.  Our housekeeper at Awelani, Rejoice, heard us and told us about her husband, Patrick.



Patrick used to work at Tshikondeni Mine. When it closed down many people lost their only source of income.



To help the community, we hired Patrick to paint all the window trims and door frames in the Palace of Mercy.



To get a real quality job without paint ending up all over the floor and on the windows and doors, we needed a professional. Patrick’s job at the mine was to keep all the Miner’s houses painted in tip top shape. He is doing an incredible job.  His Mother, Esther also helps him with the finer work.

We will send photos when he has finished.
