FROM “BUSH BUNNY BRENDA“ DATE: JANUARY 29, 2022 RUN FAST, PLAY HARD! The rainy season leaves us few dry days, but our children are taking advantage of every minute. Hard rains hit on Monday, but by Tuesday, the playground was dry. It is amazing watching our youngest sharpening newly learned play skills each week. First graders having a “co-ed” soccer game to release all that pent up “rainy day” energy. From the toddlers to the preschoolers, all are staying happy and health as they “chase the balls” during play time. Watch this video of our 3‑year-olds having a “ball”! —> https://youtu.be/4CN-3rFWjxU We only have 7 children in the 3- to 5‑year-old age group right now, but look out, because the 11 toddlers turning 2 years old this year will soon be in the mix! Watch as Baby Juma shows off his “dancing” skills learned from watching others. —> https://youtu.be/8iy5IagnFb8 Adelaide and Chebany having a sandbox chat! Capena having some fun time with our toddlers at house #6, the Zebra house. HOUSE BURNS, LEAVING 2 ORPHANS WITH THE CLOTHES ON THEIR BACKS. These 2 youngsters, ages 11, and 9, were part of a Child Headed Household run independently of our help by their 18-year-old brother. Over the Christmas holidays, their mud hut caught fire, leaving them homeless. Social Services requested our assistance as the children were left with nothing. Two orphans from Child Headed Household now able to live with their aunt after their hut burned to the ground. The 18-year-old teen found a place to live, but the 11-year-old boy, and his 9‑year-old sister were not so fortunate. THANKFULLY, a “family search” located an Aunt who agreed to share her mud hut with them, but she had little food to spare. THANKS TO YOUR LOVE GIFTS, our staff was able to assist them with emergency food and clothing, and placed the 3 of them in our Thursday food give-out. THE HANDS OF JESUS REACH THE “LOST AND DESTITUTE” BECAUSE YOU CARE. THANK YOU FROM ALL OF US AT ORPHANS UNLIMITED. BLESSINGS, BUSH BUNNY BRENDA LANGE AND THE BALAMA STAFF |
