Welcome to our Blog

Service of Hope has a revamp!

As part of our growth and development, we have revamped how we communicate to our supporters. We have increased our online presence, with a new website, (where you can also find our newsletter sign up form), a new Facebook so that you can like us and be part of a community helping to support our needs, a new youtube  so that you can see what our projects in Brazil are up to, and now a new blog, which we hope will make it easier to follow our newsletters.

Just in case you still can't find us online, here's a brief explanation of who we are and what we do:

Service of Hope is a UK charity with the Christian objectives of supporting projects in the North East of Brazil working with vulnerable groups. The key project we are currently supporting in the Olinda area of Brazil, is called My Fathers House (Casa de Meu Pai). This project is based out of an Anglican church in the area of Aguazinha, where they work with some of the most vulnerable families in the area. Not only do they work directly with these families, children and teenagers, but they also run a half way boys house in another area of the city, where the local government sends young boys to them, where they otherwise would not have a home. More recently the project has been working closely with the local government to enable the adoption of some of the boys in the house. My Fathers House also runs a farm just outside Olinda, that is used a retreat centre for the children, families and the churches that they work with.

We love this project and think that it is such a worthwhile project to support and volunteer for. If you would like to know more about the project, why not sign up to our newsletter here, so that you can hear more about the work and keep in touch. You can also follow the project directly (as well as through us) on their facebook page.

Make sure you follow our blog and check out our social media pages, so that you can keep in touch with our work!

James is back in England and ready to start his adventures as a University student. We have been so thankful and grateful to the time he has given My Fathers House, in Olinda. Without volunteers and supporters like James, there is no way that such work could continue. So, thank you for giving the work your time James, and for allowing offering your skills, time and your prayers to the work! If you want to volunteer like James, you can inquire by emailing admin@serviceofhope.org. We would love to hear from you, where-ever you are in the World.  In the meantime, read on to find out about his new journey and how successful he was with speaking Portuguese to those he worked with!

From the UK to Brazil: Part Two

One month in, James gave us an update based on his experiences of volunteering My Fathers House in Olinda. He has been kept busy, but has had an inspiring time and has not only given lots of his skills and time to the community, but has also gained much from the experience. Read on to find out what he has to say. My Time in Brazil - One Month In What a month! I have been busy almost every day, splitting my time between the My Father's House in the day and the church most nights. The first three weeks I spent with my weekdays at Cida's and the boy's house, and then my weekends with Rafael and at the church. The fourth week I spent with Rafael and stayed with him and his amazing family. At the house I am busy playing with and (to some extent) entertaining the boys, as well as looking after them and helping the team that runs the house. Handy phrases I have learnt there include 'calm down' 'stop' and 'I don't understand'! One month in an...
