Plus - you and I get to spend the morning of June 14 together if that wasn’t enough 😆 💕

Let’s do this! 💪🏼

🌍✨ From heartfelt stories of Ferra Gosa families dreaming of clean water, to witnessing the joy of turning taps on in a nearly completed project, to life in a thriving, sustainable community—this is what HOPE looks like. 💧Progress, connection and the power of transformation in action.
June 14, 2025
“The little one” - 2 year old Malefia of Ferra Gosa, sprunforh2o focus community, watches and waits for clean water access. Taps are on in a community with a nearly completed clean water project. There is joy. Taps are on in a nearly completed project community! An established Women’s Self Help Group (SHG) speaks to us about how clean water has transformed their lives and given them the opportunity for community and to provide for their families in sustainable ways now that they no longer need to fetch dirty water for hours a day - water that would inevitably make their families sick. All part of HOPE International Development Agency in action.

I imagine that many kids wish to have a Dad who takes them to a concert and just has a blast.

Why does this anger anyone?

Isn’t that what we all should aspire to?

Isn’t that what leaders should be like?

Poilievre followers should reflect.

Hate is such an ugly thing.
