We have many new updates to share with you about our Springbuds Program. Keep reading to learn what our Springbuds have been up to lately.

Whenever we have Springbuds that are old enough to graduate from our Shihaphumi home and head to our home in Dimapur, the staff puts on a “Farewell Dinner.” These 3 Springbuds recently graduated from the younger home and enjoyed their special dinner before they head to Dimapur.

Two of our Springbuds in Dimapur — Viboli and Namasen — got to participate in a special cultural song/dance at the school’s recent jubilee!

Springbuds at school!

Meet Loinoli! She is 5 years old. Her father passed away when she was just 5 days old. She has 7 other siblings but her mother eloped with another man and is now excommunicated from the village due to her poor moral behavior. All of her siblings are quite young and not able to take care of her. When her uncle approached us about helping we immediately took her in. We’re so grateful to be able to help precious children like Loinoli.

Meet Akivi! After his father passed away his mother remarried a man from her own tribe and left him at her aunt's house. Since the aunt was childless, his mother left him believing she could take care of them. However, his aunt is very poor and unable to take care of herself, let alone him. Since she lives in a village nearby Shihapumi, she approached us to see if he could help. Thanks to many generous donations we were able to immediately say “Yes!”

Wrapping Up

Thank you for investing in our Springbuds program. Because of you, we’re able to take new Springbuds in, invest in their lives, send them to school, and share the Gospel with them on a daily basis.
