A Taste of Thanksgiving: How Hope 4 Liberia is Transforming Lives Through Service

This Thanksgiving, the Hope 4 Liberia orphanage celebrated a milestone—a first-ever Thanksgiving meal prepared with the joyful help of three incredible kitchen assistants: Diamond, Dorcas, and Hannah. With red aprons tied snugly around them and flour-dusted hands, these young helpers joined Auntie Janelle in the kitchen, bringing enthusiasm, curiosity, and hard work to the table.


What stood out most was their eagerness to serve. Even when faced with tasks they hadn’t done before, they didn’t hesitate to dive in. Their determination to help, despite being novices, is a testament to a simple truth: one of the best ways to learn is through doing. Every moment they spent rolling dough, stirring ingredients, or simply observing and asking questions was a step toward learning valuable skills—skills that not only serve a purpose today but can also shape their futures.


At Hope 4 Liberia, this is the essence of what we strive for every day. We’re not just meeting the physical needs of the children in our care; we’re empowering them to grow, learn, and transform. Through moments like these, we see children discovering a love for teamwork, gaining confidence in their abilities, and finding joy in being part of something meaningful.


Thanksgiving isn’t just about the food; it’s about gratitude and community. Watching Diamond, Dorcas, and Hannah pour their hearts into preparing this meal reminded us of the beauty of shared effort and the potential within every child. They weren’t just helping to cook—they were creating memories, fostering a spirit of service, and demonstrating how lives can be transformed through love and opportunity.


As we continue this journey, we invite you to join us in praying for and supporting the work at Hope 4 Liberia. Together, we are shaping futures, one small act of service at a time.
