The new year rushed in full force as does a storm, with so much happening at the school/orphanage but like a storm the morning after is fresh and all new as it has been with so many of our children that have begun their education with us, and for some made a new home with us in the orphanage.
Over the years I have become Mother to many of the children at the school and they are strongly embedded within my heart, their problems ours, and their joys we have the pleasure and privilege of experiencing. It is hard not become involved in their daily lives, and the lives of their family, it is not only our work but also our commitment to them, and like any mother you never stop worrying about your children. Sadly though when we find a child that needs help, we cannot change their attitudes overnight, or their circumstances, we see children that are in dire need of help but through their living experiences on their own for so long, in the wrong company of others or through sickness and death we are forced to let go.
