In June of 2009 our construction missions team from Sure Foundation Hilo Church partnered with Feed the Children and traveled to La Ceiba, Honduras, Central America to renovate Casa del Nino.  Casa del Nino houses about 40 boys who have been resuced off the streets, from the city dump or from lives of abuse and neglect.  We went to be a blessing but we were the ones that were blessed beyond measure.  We replaced the roof, painted interior and exterior, and  had so much fun doing Vacation Bible School with them and just hanging out.  The day before we left we got a pinata for them and had a big water baloon fight that was a great celebration of our time together.  The boys were wonderful and we continue to pray for those boys as their will always be a special place in our hearts for them.

In March of 2011 we formed a small 4 man construction team all from different churches and traveled to Thailand were we put the exterior walls up on a bulding which will serve as an additional "family style" home for Baan Santisuk YWAM (Youth with a Missions) .  Baan Santisuk (home of peace and Happiness) is a christian orphanage located in Phang Nga, South Thailand.  Baan Santisuk was founded shortly after the great Asian Tsunami of December 2004, and as a result of reaching out to the many children as risk during that time.  Baan Santisuk rescues children who have lsot one or both parents or who have been abused or abandoned.  But the sision of Baan Santisuk is not just about rescuing children and providing a safe and loving home. Baan Santisuk is dedicated to ministering to every aspect of a child's life.  If you would like to know more about this wonderful ministry please visit their link at www.ywamthai.org/baansantisuk/

Stay tuned for our Haiti Missions Trip coming the end of May where we will be traveling to St. Marc to build homes of hope with YWAM Haiti relief.
