The Orphanage

This is the orphanage that I've gone to a few times to visit with the kids. It's rather small but nice; with a couple of dorm rooms, a common room... that houses 30 kids. Some are orphans who's parents have died and some are refuges from the war who do not know where or if their parents are still alive. This place is run by the local pastor and has two house moms working here...



This is the front porch that was just built with the help of Mercy Ships. Now the children have a dry place to do school work and play. Just in time for the rainy season to start.
When we come to visit we gather the kids in this place (they're so well behaved that this happens without request)....

Then we have worship. They lead the singing and play the drum and sasa that we bring. They also love to dance! It seems rhythm is part of their DNA;)
We then have a short bible lesson and a craft to follow. We are teaching on the fruit of the Spirit and the tree that is planted by the streams of living water.

I love spending time here!
