The book of Matthew is full of ways to live ones life as deacons are charged. It is pretty good advice for the rest of us also. Living a good example and paying attention to the needy and less fortunate is something by which all of us could gain. Boys' Home is distinguished from most other homes by two elements. We focus on long term care with a goal of productive citizenship.
Education is a major component.
Boys Home depends on private support to achieve the mission. We concentrate on building support through the development of friends rather than tax dollars. This is clear when you check the sources of support in our annual report. These two events tie Boys' Home s distinguishing elements together. Our friends acting in ways common to the charges of Deacons make it possible for Boys' Home to respond to needs like Nebiyu s and provide a supporting environment leading to productive citizenship.
