Day 2

Today we had the chance to spend our time with orphans in a home for the sick and dying, and Gertrude's orphanage for disabled children.

It was an overwhelming and inspiring experience for the whole group. When we arrived in the morning, we had a chance to visit while some of the kids parents were there as well. We held them & played with them on the playground for a few hours. Their smiles, laughs and excitement brought a lot of joy to our team!

We went from here to Gertrude's. This was a large house, courtyard, and playground where we had a chance to push the children on swings, feed them, and enjoy their company. The orphans had varying degrees of disability, but they were all equally beautiful and energetic!

After this, our journey took us back to the first orphanage again. An amazing scene to sum up this visit is when most of the group was sitting in the shade, cradling children or playing with them as the sun started to go down :) Such a blessing experience to spend our day loving these Children of God.
