"The children at the orphanage are 'pearls' who need polishing and require most of our attention, enery and resources," said Pastor Percheron.  He himself was raised at the institute, left there with his brother and sister by their widowed mother, who had no means of support.  He met his wife, Cecilia at the institute and together they help create a family for today's needy children.   

 

"The institute complex includes a children's home, seniors' home, elementary school, church, farm and mechanical workshop."

 

"Most of the children and seniors who come to live at the institute have no other place to go.  Many are homeless, while others who have families still have to work in the streets to find money for food." 

 

There are many ways to help the people at Holy Trinity Institute.  Funds are needed to purchase seeds for crops, classroom supplies, uniforms, sports equipment, shoes, and medicine, just to name a few.  There is also a wonderful "Godparent" program  which allows you to sponsor an orphan for as little as $35 per month.
