So, I was supposed to work with the orphanage I mentioned before, but we ran into problems gaining access. Fortunately, we found another orphanage called Home and Life. It is small--about 13 kids--and run by a married couple.
I spent last night there and will spend at least two more nights. It is like hanging out in a really big family. I like it.
They are constantly struggling for funding--grant writing and plotting small business ideas. Right now they bake muffins and cookies for the kids to take to school and sell. The children also collect bamboo shoots from the forest and sell those.
The children range in age from five to 18.

Hey Sweetie!!! We are all crammed into the beach house, eating enough food to support the local economy, and behaving like a big family. I am so glad you are in another big family! We are loving your postings, keep them up. We miss you being here... love steph
