Blog 5

What a day. It started when we met quite a large number of orphans to give them all mosquito nets. They were so happy.

One of the care givers had been told we could not come to her village for the distribution, so she walked three hours to get there for 7 am. Rick, who went to visit her orphans, told me about their utter poverty. They had no clothes, and so I directed our Child Sponsorship staff to travel to the village in the beginning of the week with food, clothes, mosquito nets and blankets.

After we met orphans, we went to visit the orphans that had been given food, blankets, mosquito nets and school supplies from their sponsors. It was awesome to see their response. The children were stunned and overjoyed. Everybody in the neighborhood came to see.

Tomorrow I will blog about taking the orphans to the Gateway House.
