The story of the pink latrine

This story begins a couple of years ago, when a woman from Minnesota came to Liberia and took the time to get to get to know the children at Mother Wleh's orphanage home. She touched their lives only in small ways while she was with them -- with smiles and hugs and treats -- but the bigger impact came after she left. She didn't forget them, and worked tirelessly to continue helping them.

 

She recruited a nurse to care for them, she sent them clothing and Christmas presents, and she raised money for latrines and showers to be built to improve the most basic lifestyle of the children.

Here is just one outcome of this woman's mission to help, in big ways or small. Thank you, Colleen, for not forgetting. And thank you for allowing us to help fulfill this little dream.
