How We Can Help the Orphans

Mrs. Jonah is a nurse mid wife.  She has just built a clinic for the children and the people who live around the orphanage.  They have no furniture in the clinic.  They don't have vitamins or even aspirin.  They need eye drops for their infections.  I didn't even see any mosquito nets in the girls' rooms.  There are 4 sets of bunk beds in each room.  Mosquito nets cost about $2 each.


The children have very little paper, pens or textbooks.  Mrs. Jonah's son is one of my students who is in college, and he is studying education.  His heart is in being a qualified teacher for children like this.  He and his wife also are raising some orphans as well as a baby of their own.



 This is in the hall in the clinic they have built for the children and community when they get sick.










This is the outside of one of the buildings where they have school for the elementary and junior high students.

  1. Really makes one appreciate our abundance. Though we do have poverty in our area-probably nothing to compare with their needs. Mrs. Jonah is doing a good work. Is this associated with EAFC in any way? Hope your grands have seen this post.
    Much love,
