We went for a visit there today.
Many curious, shy faces peered from behind the walls. Many smiled, many waved, some simply stared.
It always pulls at my heart to see children who have no love.
But it seems that as well as very little love, these children will soon have very little food.
UNICEF have done an amazing thing by making a promise to pay for the food of these children for three years. At the end of this month, the 3 years is up. There is going to be no food.
I find this extremely distressing, especially when I think of families back home who spend $600 per week on food shopping alone with families of only 4! It costs $500 per month to feed the orphans a nutricious diet.
And the thing is, that it isn't just this Orphanage. There are many Orphanages in the same position.
It's so hard. This Earth is a place of such extremes.
