orphanages

Christmas will be here in just a couple of months, and we at Orphan Relief and Rescue are already getting excited about delivering Christmas bundles to the kids in Liberia! Children living in orphanages are often viewed as a statistic or just another face in the crowd, and Christmas is the one time of year where they receive an individual gift, something they can call their very own.

Last month I told you about the opportunity three boys had to receive hernia repair surgeries, free of charge from Children’s Surgery International. Jeremiah, Fumbeh and Joshua all live in different orphanages, so they do not get to see each other. They spent three days together in the hospital and really hit it off. Apparently, bonding happens quickly when you are having surgery and eating chocolate pudding together. Every time I have visited their respective homes, I have been bombarded with questions about their new friends.
