In the last few weeks we have had conversations in “swanglish” (Swahili/English) with young orphans, asking them what their vision is of their future. If you asked an American child that question, you might hear that they wanted to be a pilot, or a movie star, or drive a cool car. Many told us that they wanted to have “a good life”. We probed a bit further, and asked what it meant to live a good life. Number one answer? Two meals a day.
Your generosity has made three meals a day possible for the children of Good Hope Orphanage and St Lucia Orphanage, so that they have the luxury of a full belly that allows them to think about having any future at all.
