After we left the school, we went to visit an orphanage. The orphanage was about 30 minutes from town. We visited this orphanage six years ago. The first time we visited the orphanage it was very small with a large yard. They had no water and they were barely making it. I remember we brought them three goats and he said they would keep two, but eat one because they hadn't had any meat for six months.
This time the place was unbelievable! The house had more than doubled. They now owned 5 goats, a cow, and many chickens. They had dug a well and had water running up to their house and out to the street for villagers to use. There were 3 water tanks on his land. There was also a huge playground built of wood in the backyard. He also had over 100 banana trees and a big garden. This orphanage took donations and multiplied them! They were becoming self-sufficient and not going under.
There were 21 children in the orphanage. We brought them flip flops, 100 pounds of rice, and some money. They were so thankful. The kids sang us a song and then we prayed for them. It was an amazing way to end our evening.
