TIWALA FARM

Tiwala is purchasing a farm in the Bicol region where we are establishing a base. The farm is located in a discreet, yet easily accessible rural village called Sitio Kawayan in Santo Domingo, Albay. Tiwala plans to establish many foster homes on the farm, situated within one compound.

Tiwala Farm will in essence be a sanctuary for abused children, where they will not only have all their emotional and physical needs met, but will experience the healing touch of God. Our hope and assurance is in the power of God to heal, comfort and make whole these broken little lives. The building project is expected to begin in February 2008 with a view toward opening the first home for 10 children who have suffered abuse and neglect.

At Tiwala Farm we will also be building a therapy room and clinic where the children can receive treatment and counseling. This will be a place where they can feel safe, secure and loved.

Tiwala Farm will accommodate a day care centre, which will be open to children in the surrounding community, thus allowing for interaction. Families within the community will benefit from our previously mentioned community projects.

We believe Tiwala Farm will be a special and organic environment where the children will grow up with love, community, spiritual freedom and practical care. This will be our long-term base where missionaries and volunteers from all cultures will be welcomed.
