For a while now we’ve known that in order to keep The Sound of Hope productive and successful , we needed to focus on improving our organization. As many non-profits do in the beginning, we had been “getting by” with free websites and printwork designed by friends. While we’re grateful for those “freebies” getting us […] Read more...

Putting kids in school, planting Community Gardens, starting Children’s Libraries, providing medical care, and even buying land for new Children’s Homes… these are the things we love to do at The Sound of Hope! Paying utility bills, buying plane tickets, paying payroll taxes, buying office supplies… these are the things we don’t love so much. […] Read more...
As we wrap up 2011, we know a lot of you out there are looking for the right place to invest your year-end tax-deductible gift. We would like you to consider investing that gift in The Sound of Hope. We’ve had a wildly successful year thanks to many generous donors. Our organization’s revenue has grown by 1,209% in 2011. That growth means a greater impact in the lives of hundreds of orphans and at-risk children around the world.
To be more specific, last year (in our first year of operation as a 501c3 organization) we were able to release $3,200.00 to care for our children overseas. This year, we released $100,667.57 to the Children’s Homes and Children’s Programs we are partnered with in Thailand, India, and Swaziland!
We are beyond excited to see this increase in giving. You see, we’ve spent 5 months of this year traveling to and living in 2 of the countries where we have partnerships - Thailand and India - and we have seen the needs of these children first hand. Our bottom line is simple - the more you give, the more we can do for these kids. More money means more children rescued from poverty, drug-trafficking, sex-trafficking, genocide, disease, and abuse. More funding means more children living in safe, loving homes - and more children with an opportunity for an education!
We know that, as a donor, you want to see the greatest impact made with your year-end financial gift.

We were recently invited over to the Gearhart's house for dinner and "a surprise". I'm pretty sure the surprise was supposed to come later in the night, but two bites into our burgers 3 year old Saige asked aloud, "Can we give them the money for the kids Daddy?" - and the cat was out of the bag! A few moments later all three little Gearhart girls, Zoe (7), Haven (5), and Saige (3) were presenting me with a clear jar full of money.
