Clean h2o Anyone?



What great news I have to report to you all. Thanks to the help of Orphan Relief and Rescue my little kiddies have CLEAN drinking water. Saturday when we arrived at the orphanage the first place we were escorted to was the site of thee NEW well. They were all very proud of their new pump as they call it. They even showed us how it works. As soon as the water tests come back with clearance, the kids at Frances Gaskins Children's Rescue Home will have plenty water.

Also thanks to the help of ORR the latrines/shower block is almost finished, and the crops are growing. Every week the kids are so eager to take me on a tour and show me all the work that has taken place on the premises over the last 7 days. They are gaining a scenes of pride in their home and for their belonging. Many thanks to ORR for all the work they are doing not just at Frances Gaskin but all around Liberia. Thank God for their long term commitment to this country and these children. On December 13 as the ship is sailing off into the horizon I will be able to be content knowing my little kiddies at Frances Gaskin are being taken care of by ORR. Thank You! These kids have permanently take residency in my heart and I am sad to leave them but I know they are in good hands.

Next Saturday is our last week to visit. My little friend Ms. Caroline has already placed a request for a photo of her and me so she can look at it anytime she misses me. Talk about break my heart! Of course I will fulfill her request.
