Since 1997, Helping Hand has been providing Christian
training via literature and educational materials. They also deliver
food and clothing to a local soup kitchen and a day-care center/hospital
for needy children and their families. During the course of these
activities, they are able to provide encouragement and counseling
to those they serve. Helping Hand is also involved in various outreach
activities-personal evangelism, Bible study classes, and weekly
distribution of 200 inspirational messages.
Project Helping Hand evolved from attempts made to find practical
ways of putting Christian principles to work. The guiding goal
is to bring God's love to others through:
-
An inspirational Monday morning message, "The
Fax of Life", sent by fax and e-mail;
-
Literature and children's educational materials;
-
Institutional programs for young victims of
society;
-
Personal visitation;
-
Bible studies and Christian education; and
-
Collection/distribution of goods to the poor.
The project also provides a means for donors to experience the
blessings received with unselfish giving. Helping Hand encourages
and promotes community cooperation by either connecting potential
patrons with worthy outreach projects or by collecting their offerings
and distributing them to critical areas.

Excerpt from Family Care Foundation Newsletter
Volume 3 -- No. 4
The month of December has meant extra work for us, but also
extra fulfillment. We were able to procure and increase the amount of
food and clothing that we distribute to the local soup kitchen here. This
has included hundreds of kilos of milk, meat, vegetables, fresh fruit,
clothing and household items, as well as extra treats for Christmas.
