This is a bit graphic so if you have a weak stomach, please don’t watch this. We came upon something at Kruger National Park that few people ever have the chance to witness. A pride of lions took down a Cape Buffalo (a difficult task itself) by a watering hole. We drove the safari vehicle…

My friend Kari Gibson is just fabulous at getting people fired up about orphan care and missions on her blog, My Crazy Adoption. She’s already given away two free missions trips to Ethiopia, and now she’s working on the third one this week. This summer, Kari led a mission trip to Uganda and Ethiopia to…

Another amazing day here in Swaziland with our team. We spent time visiting CarePoints where HopeChest has funded wells, classroom construction, and new kitchen projects. We had the chace to hand out some of our gifts, and spend time in activities (from reading to naptime) with our CarePoint kids. All of those you can see…

Mary is in Cape Town for Lausanne, and is experiencing the deep joy of being personally connected to brothers and sisters in Christ from all over…

As a member of the Christian Alliance for Orphans, the coordinating organization for Orphan Sunday, HopeChest encourages you to plan…

Remember the swine flu? Take a look at this breakdown of media coverage, comparing the number of stories devoted to the swine flu vs. malaria during the same time period. Imagine for a moment that all of those media stories were about malaria, and the impact that a $10 bed net can have on the…

Recently at the TEDxChange event, Melinda Gates made this same observation, and offered three areas where international development professionals can learn from the global distribution and sales strategy of Coke.
