Thank you. The orphanage dormitory has been built, the children were moved in September and are doing well. But our job is not finished. We have the funds to install solar panels for electricity and to do the painting. The tiling of the floors will be completed when funds are available.
Inflation is high and our operational costs keep rising. Our relocation onto the school property has provided us with new issues and opportunities. Several school children from the community who do not have enough to eat come to the dormitory for food. We welcome them. This results in increased costs. Thank you for your continued support for the poor.
The children depend on us. God Bless You for all the good you do.
