After weeks in the hospital, they asked if he could stay here for five months to recuperate. He has a fever now, so our orphanage moms put a little wet...

We went to check on our feeding program there, and the children are so thankful for their food! Our Love A Child Board of Directors could not believe their eyes! Love is something you...
