I am going to post some pictures without explanation. These are all children with their new clothes. I should have done this at the first since then it would have been after all the other posts but alas I didn't think about it . Sorry but beyond this are some more pictures with explanations.  Thank you for looking.  Hugs and loves to you. 

  

   

     

The baby above didn't even have any clothes. so he got a blanket and some clothes . The same for the babies below and there are many more but I have made this long enough.  

    

This is a common scene here, a grandmother

raising her grandchildren. We have one grandmother 

that is raising 8 or 9 grandchildren. The youngest is

now about 4 months old and the oldest is probably 14.

We try to give her powdered milk and clothes to feed the

children but we don't always have it.  Most grandmothers 

you see are skin and bones because they go without eating 

to feed the grandchildren and that is the way it is with the

grandmother we are helping.  This grandmother above

would have been happy for powdered milk but at that

point we didn't have any. I am hoping we can find her

again

This little girl was at the outdoor market where people bring

vegetables and fish to sell.  It is a place that would never be

allowed in other countries but it is what they have here

and many children go there hoping someone will give them

something to eat.  This little girl one of our small team saw 

and gave here a new shirt and this soft toy.  I can't imagine

what it must be like to get something like that that they have

never had.  

This little sweetie got a clown and 6 pair of

new underwear. It looks like she can't 

believe it.  

We love seeing them get something they would

not have and also clothes that some wonderful

people send us.  A big thank you to them 

This lady received a coloring paper for her children 

and some clothes for herself and her children and the

blue and white checkered bath town.  

This little guy like the others got a toy and he chose

the Raggedy Andy doll. We have other toys but

that is what he wanted.  Now he has something to cuddle with.

Please go on to the next page for more pictures , Thank you. ;)

This one really got to me.  They were offered toys to play with and new shirts

but they saw the powdered and wanted powdered milk instead so they got

the powdered milk and two shirts.  Milk here is to expensive for people

to buy so they dilute coke which is very cheap in a big bottle and the

children drink that. So when they see powdered milk they will take 

than more than anything.

This one gets to me :)

Look at this cutie, she got a new outfit and a little 

stuffed bear. 

This daddy was taking a book and pencils and powdered milk 

to his children.  When we get powdered milk here we bag it

in sandwich bags so that the children get some nourishment.

This little cutie got a toy and a pencil and some Crocks shoes and clothes. 

She is showing off her toy to her Mama.  

They are happy with their pencils too.

Pencils

These Children were just happy to get pencils for school.  1 or 2 pencils each and they acted like they

had a great gift.  

Heart Breaker

I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted. Please forgive me. It has been an interesting 2018 for us and I am sure for many of you too.

This little girl had never had a toy and like many of the children she was afraid we would take it back
from her.  You would think after our time here that we would not get teary eyed anymore but we still do.

 We have so many women here who have babies and no husband or anyone to help them because many times the husband or boy friend will leave as soon as the woman gets pregnant and go find someone else. So I am going to post a couple of pictures of the babies.  Because I love babies and want them all.  We are looking for some and to buy and build an orphanage and a center to take in children off the streets that are being used and also made to do anything to make their "owner
money. Also a place to train young people in the right kind of life and also take in older people who cannot live on their own or their children have discarded them. We have found some land so many of the children who live on the streets like a ew below would be taken into the orphanage. But it is not to be an ordinary orphanage. Each child would have its own room and also a teacher for them and the older people could teach the younger children about the correct customs of this land and be a grandparent to them and the children would give the older people a reason to live.   Also a training center for young people who want to minister and learn the ways of the Lord.
 Please pray for us that we can help these people more.
