Money For Construction Of Zion Children's Home In The
Bahamas
Bahamas Habitat said Friday it has received a matching grant of
$50,00 from The Father's Table Foundation of Sanford, Florida for
construction of the Zion Children's Home for abandoned and abused
children in The Bahamas. The funding will be used to build the
foundations of two cottages on Current Island; one for girls and
one for boys. This is the largest donation currently made to the
Children's Home project and has allowed the group to begin
construction for both residences.
The women of Current Island envisioned this project because of
the limited number of foster homes and facilities in The Bahamas.
They wanted to build a safe and loving home for children who needed
healing and a community that cared for them. This generous donation
for the Zion Children's Home came in the form of a challenge grant.
Every dollar contributed to the project by March 1, 2011 will be
matched by a second dollar from The Father's Table Foundation
Inspired by The Father's Table Foundation challenge grant,
Bahamas Habitat and Bahamas Methodist Habitat have launched their
2010 Christmas at Camp Campaign. Christmas at Camp is a
30-day focused fundraising campaign with the goal of raising
$150,000 to benefit the Children's Home and services of both
organizations. Participants called Ambassadors will contact
constituents to request their financial support via email and
phone. The campaign will culminate in an at Camp Symonette in
December to celebrate the blessings and to acknowledge those
involved in supporting the campaign.
