Epworth Children’s Village: Welcome September
Dear Friends and Supporters,
As we welcome the vibrant newness of spring, we are reminded of the growth and renewal that this time of year symbolizes. At Epworth Children’s Village, we feel as thou we are starting a new season as we continue to nurture the seeds of hope, love, and opportunity within our children, thanks to your unwavering support.
This September, we are focusing on preparing our children for the final term of the school year. Your contributions have ensured that our children are equipped with the necessary resources and the confidence to face the challenges ahead. From school supplies to emotional support, every bit of assistance has made a difference to our children.
We need volunteers to help with homework and studies, please if you have some time in the afternoons, contact us!
We welcomed seven new children to Epworth, all between the ages of 4 to 7 years three boys and four girls. We are thrilled to have them join our Epworth family, and we are committed to providing them with the care and support they need to thrive.
However, this new chapter also brings some challenges. A few of our new arrivals are struggling with language, which means we will be working even harder to ensure they feel understood, supported, and included. Our team is dedicated to helping them overcome language barriers and adjusting to their new environment with love and patience.
We are also excited to share that the Therapy and Assessment Centre continues to thrive, providing essential services that help our children overcome past traumas and embrace brighter futures. The development of this center is a crucial step towards our goal of self-sustainability, and we are grateful to those who have contributed to its success.
We are delighted to share that we have secured 8 new interns for 2025!!
As we look towards the future, we remain committed to our mission of creating a safe and nurturing environment for every child in our care. This wouldn’t be possible without your continued generosity and belief in our cause. We encourage you to share our story with others, so we can extend our reach and support even more children in need.
Thank you for walking this journey with us. Together, we are planting seeds in children that we trust will grow into strong, resilient individuals who will one day make a difference in the world.
Thank you Epworth Children’s Village Team
