Handing Out Hope has returned from Mozambique after having implemented the Beacon of Hope Livestock Project.  There were many challenges along the way, from unpredictable weather conditions to social and cultural barriers but as we kept on with our vision we completed that which we set out to do.  A plan was crafted for Beacon of Hope making the goal of self reliance attainable after just two years. The plan represents so many things, the most significant being that it is a REAL solution for Beacon of Hope to no longer be enslaved to dependency but self reliant in its own right.  Words will never be able to express how wonderful it feels to have been able to be apart of the implementation process.  HOPE is what seemed to be a common theme for all those involved; from myself being hopeful that we had found a viable solution to help sustain projects that afforded the youth of Mozambique an education which would allow them to achieve their potential, to those youth who saw HOPE through our plan as being possibly their one chance to achieve greatness using their own abilities.  That opportunity, that display of HOPE, is something that would otherwise not have been a reality had it not been for YOU.  On behalf of those currently benefiting from your generosity, to those who will benefit from it in the future, thank you for making this world just a little bit better and much more hopeful.
