Orphanage

At our new location amongst the monks and nuns, there is an orphanage that has babies till the age of 3. visiting hours are at 9am and 4pm for one hour each. Emily and I walked over to the children playing and they all walked towards us looking like zombies with their arms up ready to be picked up. i held some for the entire time we were there. they were in great need of attention and love. it was heartbreaking to see the great need of love the children needed and that we couldn't stay with them. there are so many people that want to love children like this but the children are left with people coming in and out at the crucial years of their life. most of the children were malnourished, it was odvious as their eyes were sunken, their heads were quite large with thinning and light coloured hair.
i wanted to stay with the children and love on them..but we only were allowed one hour with them. my prayer for the children is that they would get the right nutrition for their small bodies and that they would be given a sense of hope and life through the nuns that work there.
