Believing that God wanted to make a place for children of the Philippine islands to be nurtured so that they would prosper spiritually and physically in their own land, Connie Andrews and her late husband, Vernon, began t
he work with four girls in 1981.
Today, there are around 55 children in two houses in a village near the city of Tarlac on Luzon island.
The children go through Elementary School, High School and many go onto Further Education. They come from 70% of the population living under the UN poverty line.
Kathryn Thompson is a trustee of Rehoboth Children’s Homes Trust and a resident volunteer. She spends on average ten months of the year out in the Philippines, living at the Home, and the rest of the time back in the U.K.
