March 13 Orphan kidsI work in a school as a teacher of English. In my school we have some kids from the nearby orphanage. My heart often breaks to see how much these children suffer and how much disfunctional in most cases they are. They are often hyperactive, disobedient troublemakers who find it hard to socialise. These kids usually have their parents who, because of their strong alcoholism, have got more or less limited parential rights. These young people used to be beaten, humilated, abused and most often knew real poverty. Orphanage is slightly better for them as they have safe shelter, enough food etc but still it is no real home for them. It is one big place , where a group of equally disfunctional children is kept together and where they often learn new disfunctions from one another.
Ever since one orphan six-year-old girl from a class I teach in jumped on the table and streched her arms towards me shouting: "Mummy, mummy' and repeated that a few more times I started to think hard about it. I would wake up at night and imagine my own kids abandoned and miserable like this little girl. I had more and more sleepless nights and I knew I had to do something. God was calling me to act. I was trying to fight with this thought as I have four kids of my own and it all seemed pretty crazy. But then I realized that when I die one day and look back on my life I will regret not having taken any action. Well, I could of course accumulate more money and goods or spend the money God is blessing me with by sharing it with one or two more kids regulary.
So having talked to my husband we agreed to invite some kids at weekends to our place regulary. When I went to the orphanange to talk about it with one of the therapists there and to find out about the procedure she said that for some time she had been looking for some 'friend family' for two kids, all in vain. And now when she almost lost hope there I was asking for kids. She called me an angel sent by God. (lol)It was just a few days before Christmas. We got two kids ,a brother (7) and a sister (10), the boy being one of the worst troublemakers in the whole orphanange. They have come to my place many times now. They have slept overnight several nights and now come here regulary every Friday to stay for the weekend. Although my hands are really full of work I am so happy to know these kids feel so good here and look forward to their next time in our home. The boy has not become an angel yet (just joking) but I can see an enormous change in him. I will tell you more about it all soon.
Please pray for us.
