On Thursday I left Max and Maggie with with Ben and went up the hill to help out at a day camp for orphans. Little lambs supports 50 - 60 kids who have lost one or both of their parents, providing them with one to two meals per day, supplementing their school fees, clothing them and covering the bill when a medical need arises. African Inland Mission prefers the idea of day camps (rather than orphanages) so that kids can stay with their extended family in their villages. Possibly the sweetest memory I will be taking back home with me... precious hopeful kids, healthy program, refreshing look at what can be done with a little prayer and compassion. Well done...
What an absolutely wonderful idea and alternative to the institutional orphanage concept. And what an amazing opportunity for you to experience.
