The director wasn't in the Social Welfare office the last 2 days, so our paperwork is supposed to go to their office today for signatures and then hopefully to the court to get a date. Linda is back in school for now and having fun with her friends.

In the last 2 weeks, we have had 7 more children begin coming to the Orphan Care Center for food, so now there are 45 children. Most of the new children are of the Preschool age. Yesterday we had 2 grandmothers (sisters) come for help. They have 8 children whom they are caring for and all of the parents have died from Aids. The grandmothers carry sand and water one bucket at a time for very little money to try to make enough to feed these kids. We are able to help them with 4 of the children right now. 2 of the other children that have come are also being taken care of by their grandmother.

One of the night watchmen at the Orphan Care center just came 2 nights ago and let us know that his 5 year old child had died from Malaria!
