22 Mothers Graduate, Trained to Save their Babies
Jesus said: “I was sick and you visited me…” Restore a Child’s work is totally following
our Master’s call to care for the sick. We partner with several Adventist hospitals in
Africa and Haiti to provide the proper medical care for sick children. In addition, we
partner with the Nutrition Center at Bere Adventist Hospital in Bere, Chad for the past
eight years. YOU, our donors have helped us save thousands of sick and starving
children. Zachary Gately writes: “Without your help we would not be able to save so
many lives of children.” The mobil clinic is doing a great job filling the need of the poor
and sick people who cannot walk 30 miles to come to the hospital. We also support
the training of mothers so they
can learn how to feed their
babies. 22 mothers graduated in
June, after 24 weeks of training
and saved the lives of their
starving babies. Thank you our
faithful donors for the impact of
your gifts of love. You will hear:
“Well done faithful servant…”
Chairman Dr. Jonathan Kuntaraf Retires
Summer 2016
Restore a Child Board of Directors Elects Dr. Larry Blackmer, North
American Division Vice President of Education, as NEW Chairman.
Dr. Blackmer has been a very active member of the Board, with ut-
most support for Restore a Child. We look to many years of progress
and growth through his leadership and dedication to the cause of
poor and orphan children.
NEW CHAIRMAN ELECTED for BOARD of DIRECTORS
The Board expresses deep appreciation to Dr. Jonathan
Kuntaraf, who served a total of 10 years: 5 years as Chair-
man of the Board and 5 years as member of the Board. No
words can express our gratitude for such selfless service
and generous spirit. But we are pleased that he chose to
remain as member of the Board, although he retired from
the General Conference and moved from the area.

A Dream for Ukraine Realized YOUR Gifts at Work—Tanzania
Dr. E.G. Moses spends several months each year in the
Ukraine and has been Restore a Child’s representative
in identifying s hundreds of needy families with children
with special needs in refugee camps and an orphanage
where children go to school without school supplies.
Because of the war with Russia children are orphaned
and live and hardly have enough to eat or go to school.
We need your help to feed children and send them to
Adventist schools to learn about God and have a future.
Even the schools need remodeling and equipment.
There is a need to build an Adventist school in Luviv,
but thank God for generous donors, the Bainum Family
Foundation, who gave us a matching grant to help build
part of the school. Your donation will be doubled im-
mediately. So please help us match $61,000 before
beginning of the school year, September 2016.
We wish to thank the Bainum Family and Dr. Wilfried
Busse of Sligo Church in Maryland for their generous
grant.
Children have suffered enough at their tender age. They
deserve basic needs and go to school. Thank you for
helping us give the suffering children in the Ukraine a
chance to have a future. Many of the children have
disabilities and need medical care. Many children live
with a single mother after losing their fathers in the
war. It is not easy to find a job in the Ukraine. People
are refugees in their own country.
Education is Key to break the cycle of poverty.
Restpre a Child was blessed to partner with Dunya Ya
Heri (Land of Blessing organization) with Thomas Kue-
sel and his wife from Germany to build an orphanage
in Tanzania for children whose parents died of AIDS.
The first home is
completed. We
need to build
four more. First
photo outside of
home, the other
is inside the
home. Children
will occupy the
home early Au-
gust 2016.
Dr. Mitchell
Davis continues to help us with planting fruit trees for
sustainability. 2,500 fruit trees are to be planted and
400 have been planted already. Vegetables are grow-
ing to feed the children. Thank you for being a bless-
ing to the Land of Blessing. We invest in a safer world
for now and for generations to come as the children
continue to perpetuate the love and kindness you
show them.

Bashir Hasso Mission Institute YOUR Gifts at Work
Dr. Davis donated for the third year in a
row for the planting of fruit and nut
trees in Argentina, Haiti and Tanzania.
1,000 of the 5,000 fruit trees have been
planted in the above countries. Thank
you Dr. Davis from Washington D.C.
Dr. Mitchell Davis Farm
It was a great privilege for the Founder to travel to Misiones,
Argentina, to check on the progress of Bashir Hasso Home and
Dr. Mitchell Davis Farm where 2,500 trees will be planted, 450
have already been planted. Norma had a chance to work in
the garden and dig the soil.
She also with our partners Warren and Jodi McDaniels and the
volunteers under training visited the destitute Guarani chil-
dren. It was terribly cold in June in Argentina with frost in the
morning, yet as you can see many of the Guarani children had
hardly any clothes and no shoes and were hungry.
Restore a Child Mission: to provide food, clothing, medical
care, education and teach them about God’s love for them.
The first home still needs $20,000 to be completed. We need
your help to build four more homes each at $50,000. If you
would like to dedicate or name one of the homes after a loved
one you can pay in two installments now and next year. Write
to me and let me know: [email protected]
Our Chairman the board traveled to Manado, Indonesia on
May 10, 2016 to inaugurate this new training center. Already
classes in sewing, computer and cooking and agriculture have
started. Students also were trained in construction while
building the center which both helped the young people learn
and also saved us money. This center is next to the May Hasso
Home we built in 2015 for 42 orphan girls
This is one of several orphanages and projects Restore a Child
is operating in seven different islands in Indonesia with 250
orphan children. 180 young people have been baptized. 35
students are now in university and 25 have already graduated
from university and giving back in their communities.
Thank you for your generosity. You are writing eternal stories
and giving hope to thousands of destitute children worldwide.
Your reward will be 100% dividend on your investment now in
lives being saved for now and eternity. Thank You ALL.
The Whole Gospel
Restore a Child believes in the development of
the physical, mental and spiritual needs of ALL
children. We make it a priority to instill in the
young minds the truth of the gospel and the
love of the Creator so they can develop their
character to be trusted future leaders. If you
want to invest in lives for eternity, help us fulfill
our responsibility to the Master who said: “Let
the little children come to ME and forbid them
not..”

Saving Girls from Trafficking
Cleomene is the third girl we saved from trafficking in
the last few months in Haiti. Her mother was mentally ill and
abandoned her as an infant. When she became old enough to
carry stuff at age four, she worked as a child porter for several
years until she was sold as a slave to people who abused her.
She ran away to the orphanage we support our engineer Jo-
seph Valcin built with his funds in Petite Riviere d”Artibonite
Cleomene is safe and
Joseph’s wife is teaching
her with the other girl who
Was saved from trafficking
who never went to school
to be ready for next
school year. We promise
Cleomene that we will
protect her, take care of
her and provide quality
Christian education so
she can have a future and
give back to children in
her community
Please help us save more
girls from Trafficking.
Thank you..
Just think what an
Impact you will have on
Her life now and life
In the future.
VERSACARE Grant $40,000
We want to thank ALL our donors who are helping us build our
first home in Bohoc, Haiti. Thanks to VERSACARE grant we
were able to work on the roof which is half done. We still
need your help to complete the roof by the end of July as En-
gineer Joseph Valcin has put building his own home on hold
for two years to help us build Restore a Child Academy in Bois
Pin now with 200 students and also help us build the multi-
purpose buildingin 2015 and this first home in 2016. Valcin
has retired and wants to build the home for his wife who has
been waiting patiently for two years. Thank you Mrs, Valcin
for sacrificing your husband’s time with you so you both can
impact lives of children. Valcin has already built a home for
orphans and a school with his own funds in Petite Riviere
d”Artibonite, Haiti. He has been training young men in con-
struction as he builds our homes and schools.
The do fast is God’s true fast according to Isaiah58:6-7: “Is this the fast that I
have chosen? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry...and when you
see the naked, that you cover him…” Also Isaiah 1:17 “… defend orphans”
The do fast (do = defend orphans) is a 24-hour annual fast that falls on the
second Sabbath in November to commemorate World Orphans Day. Ever
year in October the world places special focus on the #1 public health issue
of world hunger, known as World Hunger Action Month, to address the one
billion people who face perpetual hunger, and the six million children who
die of hunger every year. The do fast is in partnership with the North Ameri-
can Division Education, Ministerial and Youth Departments. The GC added
orphans as a Biblical mandate and invited Norma Nashed as member. Of the
General Conference Task Froce for orphans. Finally after 17 years!
Learn more with our FREE toolkit and Activities at restoreachild.org/dofast.
Encourage your school or church to participate in SS classes, schools, Path-
finders, and youth groups. Be part of “do” by defending orphans.
