When children grow up in an orphanage or children’s home, they have a lot of “brothers and sisters.” Sometimes, they are even closer to one than their own sibling. But one thing is for sure, they love each other. No matter if one is much younger or older, they all get along.

This little one is Ginyia and her “sister” is Nathalie. Ginyia’s mother died during a C-section, so Ginyia was raised by her older blood-related sister. Her father deserted her and never returned, leaving Ginyia’s older sister to care for her. When the teenager could no longer do so, she took her little sister, Ginyia, to the Department of Social Services. They asked us to take her in, and of course, all the little girls were so excited to get another sister!!

Nathalie was brought to our Malnutrition Center by her father when she was less than a year old. Nathalie’s mother had died, and her father realized she was malnourished and not well… That’s why he brought her to the clinic. She was thin and underweight. When she recovered, we looked everywhere for her father in their remote village, but he was never found. So, we took her in, and we are so glad that “her father never found her.” If he would have loved her, he would never have left this precious gift for us! Ginyia and Nathalie are both doing well in school. Both are in the “Praise Dance Team!”  Both of them love to sing, and they love music!

We will wait and see where God takes these two precious little girls, but for now, they are our “joy!” We love them both!!! Sherry
