What We Do

Posted

We take the children to their schools, pay and keep records of all expenses, find places for the orphans who have no homes to stay during school holidays and buy food for them, and accompany younger children who do have relatives to their home villages during breaks , often an eight-hour bus ride.

Once each trimester, boarding schools have a “Parents’ Day” when parents can visit their children and bring them their favorite home-cooked foods.  (Boarding school fare is nutritious but monotonous.)  These are busy times for the liaison officer, who tries to visit and bring food to every orphan child.  Without her they would sit quietly in their dormitory rooms during Parents’ Day.
