Three New Children to Love

Last week we were brought three new children, this time from a nearby town. They are in need of lots of love and security, but we have seen in a few days that they have already settled in well and are happy here. Juan, who is 6, started school today, and José (5) and Katia (2) love playing in the play room and in our big yard. The other children in the home are happy to have more playmates. We will soon be looking for sponsors for these children.

Our Children Love Visitors


It is always so exciting for our children to recieve visitors. They love the extra attention and love they recieve. Here Katia is given hugs from Katie´s sister Christy who came for a week.

The kids spend hours out it the sun in a sand pile digging and making pretend food.
