We took the tour with the doctor (85 years old.) Don't ever let anyone tell you that you are too young or too old to work for Jesus and share His love with others. Some of the children are orphans as result of AIDS. One tiny boy was found his first day of life in a toilet in the train.
The doctor told us that when the neighbors cleared out the trees behind the orphanage, the monkeys came through their property. He saw one particular mother monkey carrying her dead baby monkey as she escaped the area. He said, "How can a monkey show such compassion to her dead baby, and people..... people throw living children away?" It was so sad. He has such amazing compassion for these young people.

They need volunteers. If you know anyone that is interested in doing some volunteer work in an orphanage (where they speak English) please contact them.

Here are a few pictures of their lovely place. It is the dry season. They said it is just beautiful in the rainy season. I can only imagine. They have worked very hard to make this place a blessing to very many babies and children. God has worked miracles.
