Heshima Home Visits

I loving working with Heshima, the special needs center.

Julius (Administrator), Victor, Lillian (assistant)

We recently did some home visits in the area. One of the major focuses of Heshima is to be an influence and picture of God's love in the community around us. We also want to impact as many children and families as possible.

Because we are still small at this point, we do not have the personnel or facilities to handle many children. However, we have already identified some of the children we will take as soon as we are able to expand. In order to keep them connected and be able to offer assistance we invited them to a clinic. Tracey, the founder of the center, pulled together her resources to organize for a clinic with a host of physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists.

So...we went to tell the families. Two of our students, Victor and Mark, went along.

(Right) Victor loved bringing his friends home. He was so cute! He didn't let go of us.
