1st Annual HSA Banquet


Greetings

On June 3rd Hope Social Action was happy to host it’s 1st annual fundraising banquet.  This was an exciting day to allow people that are interested to hear about the mission and objectives of Hope Social Action.  Our program consisted of worship, presentation on the current status of Hope Social Action, followed by the plans that Hope Social Action has to grow and develop.  After Gildas presented, we had a time for many of the people that we work with to share how Hope Social Action has impacted their lives.  People from the orphanage, CJARC, and the elder Elizabeth all shared with those that were in attendance.


After the meal we sought for those that were interested to indicate if they would partner to pray, volunteer, or donate to help Hope Social Action meet their goals.  With the funds that were raised at the fundraising banquet Hope Social Action will evaluate the most impactful projects such as allowing the widows to learn a new trade that can allow them to earn more money for their children.  Or use the funds to help the orphans and the widow’s children to pay for school fees and school supplies. We praise God for the success that he provided from this first ever HSA fundraising banquet.  It is God that will continue to meet the needs of those that we strive to help.

Now we look forward, hoping to continue to harvest the marvelous work that God has during the next month. The major activity of this summer will be the launching of ''Group Ruth'' targeting the widows of Nsam. The activities of this group will be the Bible studies and training about how to raise and manage a generating income project to improve their well being. Pray with us for the success of this group as the widows have been away from Yaounde over the past few visits.
