Kick start Rowan Family in Vanuatu

Our Story:
- Our family spent a month doing volunteer work at a school in Vanuatu in March 2013.

- We commited to adopt a baby boy who was otherwise going to be killed by the maternal grandfather (due to Kustom law).

- Knowing that this happens to many babies in Vanuatu, we also committed to starting a Children’s home in Vanuatu for other babies like Jeremiah and mamas who want to keep their babies and need assistance to do so.

- Friends in Vanuatu cared for Jeremiah on our behalf until August 2013 when we returned to finalise adoption and apply for a holiday visa for Jeremiah.

- We received two rejected visas for Jeremiah which meant we couldn’t return to Australia as a family.  Andy went back to Australia with our four eldest children while Jenny and Jeremiah stayed in Vanuatu.

- Andy left his work, packed up all our belongings into storage in oz and moved over to Vanuatu.

- Lived by the blessing and generosity of friends, family and strangers for the past year without a job as we have worked towards registering The Jeremiah Project.

- October 2014 – After having lived in Vanuatu for a year we were granted a holiday visa for Jeremiah!! We are headed to oz for Christmas!

- 2015 – Building a home for our family in Vanuatu and establishing The Jeremiah Project Children’s home.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!! :)

We would like to send over a shipping container of some of our own things to help set up our family in Vanuatu and also things for the Jeremiah Project (cots, mattresses, clothes, bottles, beds etc) that we are unable to purchase in Vanuatu.  Cots, for example, are hard to come by and cost $1000 for a basic timber cot!

Thank you for your support! We are so very grateful.  If you would like to stay up to date on "The Jeremiah Project" please look out for our new blog that we will be launching in the coming weeks – www.thejeremiahproject.org/index.php/news/blog
