OVERVIEW:

Samuel Thang is a young man who has taken sixty-six orphaned or abandoned children into his home which is a working farm. Back in May, 2010 Hopeful Hearts visited Samuel and the children and discussed with Samuel how Hopeful Hearts would like to assist him in some way. He broke down into tears, overjoyed that someone came to Myanmar, listened to his strengths and struggles and wanted to help.

He faithfully cares for God’s broken, abandoned and smallest treasures and does not ask for help. His humility, faith, and persistence with helping these orphans were an eye opening experience for us, one we will never forget. The number of children at the home is expected to continue to increase in 2011.

The children live in a safe and loving Christian environment in a predominantly Buddhist country. All of the children attend church each week and many of them have been baptized as Christians. The children help on the farm with the gardens and milking the cows.
