The Shepherd's Field
Children's Village and Hands of Hope Wall grand opening is scheduled on September 23, 2005. The Village will provide a wonderful permanent home for the
wall with easy access for families who want to visit. The village
is designed to be a model of family environment for care of the special
needs children who are its residents. SFCV also has an on-site
facility where all families can stay. This will allow you to
spend time at the wall, volunteer to work with the children, and gain a
more personal understanding of the day to day life at PHF. Because PHF is located near Bejing, it is close enough for you to go
the village and spend as much time as your travel plans allow.
Construction of the wall has begun. Some of the tiles have been placed on the wall. It is expected that the remaing tiles will be placed soon. We are extremely excited to see the dream of the wall becoming a reality, and to have a home at a facility that embodies the vision of making a difference for the children who need it most..
Additional tiles are available through the Philip Hayden Foundation.
