Summer 2018
Dear Friends,

Seeds of Hope just celebrated our 10th anniversary this past week, and we couldn't have made it here without you! To celebrate, we've relaunched our website. The new site has lots of interactive videos and photos and some fun memories in a timeline of the last 10 years. Check it out!
And hopefully you recently received a survey from us that you've had time to fill out. We rely on our donors to help change the lives of the children we serve, and to better understand those of you that donate to our organization, we asked that you take a few moments of your time to complete the survey. Already we have received some wonderful feedback, and we are grateful for each and every one of you and the time you took to share with us.

If you didn't have a chance to fill out the survey, you can do so here:
What's Going on with Little Hearts in Jerusalem?
Little Hearts has a lot to be excited about! For the first time in the school's history, our registration filled up a full three months early ! Not only that, we have a waiting list! It is really exciting to see the school's reputation growing in a positive way!

In addition to the growth, our student demographic has shifted significantly toward more Arab families coming to our school. We are proud of the trust that those in the Arab community continue to place in us.

And we are in the final stages of some renovations to our baby and sleeping rooms. We are hoping we can complete the remodel over the summer, as we continue to raise funds for them.

All in all, it's a very exciting time with our Little Hearts Preschoolers in Jerusalem. Below we've shared with you some fun photos of our kids this summer during our summer camp activities. If you'd like to help Little Hearts with finishing their renovations, you can visit their website at http://littleheartspreschool.org
The Jericho Daycare and Kindergarten are Expanding as Well!
Both our Daycare and Kindergarten facilities in Jericho are expanding and moving. That means, we can take care of more kids, and impact more families with the message of Hope! We'll share more photos of the Kindergarten in our Fall newsletter, but we wanted to share a bit of the daycare transformation with you here. As you can see, the kids are loving their new play areas!
Kids Helping Kids
Never underestimate what the power a group of kids can do! The kids in Archbold, OH had their summer VBS in June and their theme was "Jerusalem Marketplace". The kids brought in their money from home all week, and together they raised a record breaking $3,484.76 to help support Seeds of Hope's summer camps!

We LOVE when kids are helping kids! Thanks again Archbold Evangelical Church! We hope your crew had an amazing time at VBS!
Papaya's and Gratitude

One of the difficulties of living in the West Bank, is the complicated, sometimes impossible, access to certain medications. One young man recently found himself in trouble when he was no longer able to access his prescription for Schizophrenia. Unsure what to do, he contacted our offices, and one of our staff worked hard, alongside one of our partner organizations, to arrange delivery of this important medication.

Recently, while our staff was in a meeting, the man stopped by to deliver some papayas. It was the only way he knew to tell us just how grateful he was for our help. The staff was over come with emotion, many of them with tears in their eyes, as they were once again struck by how incredible it is to have the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives, every day. Thanks to Global X for your help in getting this man his medicine! We couldn't do what we do, without the amazing support of organizations and people like you!
Thank You For Staying Connected and Supporting Our Work!
We would be grateful if you would consider financially supporting the work we do!
