The El Shaddai orphanage is under the directorship of David and Terry Wharf (from Kamloops). David was an instructor at TRU and took 2 years out of his career and Terry took leave of absence from her job, to go and work with this orphanage in Thailand , 1 hour south of Bangkok. With their dedicated service to these children , the orphanage has recently grown from 14 to 20. Along with the daily life of raising 20 children under the age of 14, comes the challenge washing clothes for 20 children, feeding them a balanced diet and keeping the orphanage organized. When David and Terry came home this summer, it came to our attention that Terry had been washing the children’s clothes on a washboard. IHHS immediately stepped into action and raised $800 CDN to purchase a durable washing machine for the orphanage. Now the need is for wooden clothes racks (for drying the clothes) and a deep freeze. We are raising funds for this project with an approximate cost of $600CDN. Funds raised through fund-raisers and private donations will go towards this project.
