I first came to Sakhalin in the winter of 2006/2007 with an Australian group to work in an orphanage. A friend and I stayed on for two more weeks at the House of Grace and Hope.
The Harrison’s house was a haven for many kids and it was obvious it was a place where they felt loved and appreciated.
When I returned to Australia, I told my fiance (now husband) about the House and particularly how the happiness the Harrisons give is such a gift to the orphans. We visited again in June 2009 and look forward to visiting more often in the future.
