Orphans

In this land of many orphaned young people, the stories are just heart-wrenching to think about. When we were talking about the 10 Commandments and the one about honoring your father and mother some of these kids laughed, and one girl had to leave the room. I had them go around the room to say if they had a mother or father. If I remember only two of 20 had mothers, and one of them also had father-in-law and elderly mother-in law too!
Jean Peirre in orange is shy. Eric is not at 22. Ernest lives up to his name.....
Placidia is so loved by baby Benson that it's like she is a magnet for that baby! She lives with a "christian family" as their maid and takes care of most everything for the mother who works. She has no family and is such a sweetie! She read the scriptures for radio Mucuyo the first time we went. I don't think she was able to finish high school due to lack of resources.
