The Children are Beautiful





I wanted to answer some questions about the orphanage.  There  are  35 children  - most under the age of 3.  Some of their older siblings also live at the orphanage.  The orphanage is  a 3 bedroom home with an office and storage.  Out behind the house are 2 huts, one for  cooking the meals and  the other for a dining area ( there is no furniture they sit on the ground and eat.) 

There are  5 house mothers , 3 work during the day, and 1 at night, They switch off night shifts for a week at a time each.  The   orphanage is about 3 years old and was started by a Ugandan doctor at the local hospital. Ugandan doctors don't make very much , maybe around $300.00 per month.
