GongYi Home of Hope

The third project is to paint the complete exterior of all the buildings and walls at the Home of Hope. The last couple of years, the government has paid more attention to the appearance and finish of the exterior walls than in previous years and in fact this has become part of our annual inspection criteria for our permit to operate.

This project is probably the most extensive of the three due to the height and consequently the potential danger involved. We rent scaffolding and make the children (the older ones of course) tie off with belts and ropes.

The paint in China is not very durable so exterior painting must be done quite frequently. First the entire surface of all the buildings must be scraped to remove all the lose and peeling paint and any other loose materials that may have developed over the year. Once about 25% of the scraping is done, one group will start painting while another group continues the prep work.

The cost of this project is $2,000.00 for painting the outside of the buildings.

If you would like to participate financially in this project your help is truly needed and will be greatly appreciated.
