In the children's home

4/2/2014

What a grand welcome we got at the children's home with about 200 children lining up to welcome us with flowers.  We have been  surrounded by a lot of love and care by Dr. Ebenezer's family, the children's home staff and  the children.  This helped us get over our culture shock of the first days. It was a challenge to see crowded streets, the unpredictable traffic and the poverty around us . 
It is good to see the children. They are healthy, active and well loved. They are content and grateful for everything.  Although they own very little, their joy is contagious. They seem to understand the value of education and study hard.  We are  happy to see with which appetite they eat the rice that was donated by CHILD Foundation. Although there is limited supply of vegetables and protein, and no dessert, there is always enough rice, so nobody needs to go hungry.
