OHHC Coordinator Team
"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another" Proverbs 27:17
On the American side, OHHC's network of volunteer coordinators recruit Christian host families, assist them with obtaining background checks and necessary approvals, and provide training to prepare host parents who decide to welcome an orphan child into their home. The OHHC team also coordinates all travel to and from the USA as well as domestic travel connections within the USA.
OHHC's in-country coordinators in Eastern Europe work with orphanage directors and local orphan courts to identify children who would benefit from a hosting experience, coordinate in-person interviews for the American team to meet each potential host child, and coordinate the logistics of obtaining travel permission, passports, visas and other documentation for the children. Together, the entire OHHC team hopes to provide a positive experience that will leave a profound and lasting impact on the children and host families.
