This #GivingTuesday help us #ProtectOurGirls!

Every day at The Sound of Hope, we work to bring rescue, protection, and holistic care to orphans and vulnerable children around the world. In 2011, we began an important project in Northern Thailand that is now called Baan Choo Jai (The Helping Hearts Home). Over the past 3 years, we’ve fundraised to buy land and a home, renovate the house, establish sustainability projects, and rescue 8 precious little girls out of some dangerous situations. Today, on #GivingTuesday we’re asking you to help us protect these girls.
All of these girls were rescued out of poverty and brought out of situations that could make them targets for human traffickers. Some of them are double orphans, some were abused, one was homeless, and still another was living with a mentally ill caregiver. It was incredibly important that we bring these girls into a safe, loving home where they could grow and thrive. And in May of 2013, we did!
Unfortunately, it’s recently come to our attention that the home is not as safe as it should be. Because there isn’t a wall around the property, our girls have been harassed by men who are trespassing. These creeps have stolen their livestock, their tools, their vegetables, and they’ve even tried to break into their home. Sometimes, they beat on the door late at night in a drunken haze. While our girls are now safe from being trafficked into the Red Light Districts down South – we want them to be safe from these men too! So today, we need your help to protect these sweet children.
Right now, a flimsy barbed wire fence is all that is standing on the property. We need to build an 8-10 foot tall cement block wall that will protect our girls, their home, and their sustainability projects. This will give them the safety, freedom and peace of mind they need to truly flourish in their new home!
Just $10 will buy 10 blocks for the new wall. Will you commit to buying at least 10 and challenge your friends do to the same? Together, we can protect these girls.
