Boys bedroom
Rehoboth Children’s Home has the use of two houses for the residents. In 2005 we were able to buy a plot of land and knocked down the old house that we had been renting and built a new house. This is the sleeping quarters for the girls and also has the Rehoboth office. The house has two stories with 4 bedrooms upstairs with a toilet & shower, terrace and sick bay, 2 bedrooms downstairs as well as a room for our female staff, a dining room, kitchen, toilets & showers and the office. One of the rooms upstairs is kept as a guestroom. There is an outside kitchen and laundry area too. In the same compound we converted an old rice mill into a small study and computer centre, called the Resource Centre. There is also a covered garage area where we keep our Rehoboth vehicle.
Beside the girls’ house, inside the compound, is a small bungalow which is used by Kathryn Thompson, who is one of the UK trustees but is based at Rehoboth for ten months of the year. Sta. Maria Full Gospel Church is also inside the Rehoboth compound and Pastor Luzano has a house behind the church.
The Boys House
On the other side of the road is the boys’ house which we rent. The house has 4 bedrooms upstairs, a study area and toilet/shower and 3 bedrooms downstairs as well as a sitting and dining area, and more toilets and showers. Two of the rooms upstairs are used by staff. There is also an outside cooking and laundry area.
A short walk from the boys house will take you to the Rehoboth garden or Eco-Learning Farm! This is 2500 square metres of land which is being used to grow many different fruits, vegetables, trees, plants and flowers.
Behind the boys house we have also built a half size covered multi-purpose court which is used for basketball, volleyball and other games and activities. Beside the court we have a small playground with swings, slides, seesaws, climbing frame and monkey bars for the children to play.
