                 Our Washing Machine!

We no longer have to wash clothes outdoors by hand at the orphan home.  We thank all of you who gave a special gift to help us buy our washing machine.

      Tables and Chairs!

Our children love their tables and chairs for meal times, studying, play time and other activities.  Until now, they had only the floor to use.  Some kids had never sat on chairs!  We thank all of you who gave a special gift to help us provide this needed furniture for the kids.
