A few reflections:
I work with burn victims as a nurse at the hospital, but seeing a baby that had been intentionally burned really broke and captured my heart. -Lori
Today was my first time holding a baby. As I held some of the kids, I just kept praying that as they grow up, these orphans would know their heavenly father. -Michael
There is nothing better than a kid’s smile. Those kid’s smiles do some damage - good damage to the heart. No matter what is behind them (background) they’re still smiling. That’s Jesus’ love to me! -Adam
Today was a great orientation of all the Watoto does in this community. But the highlight was our afternoon spent at Baby Watoto - holding, playing with, praying for, and loving on the children. Our hearts are full today!
Here’s our Fav Five:
Ginny holds one of the Baby Watoto children at the Bulrushes.
Izzy is 3 days old and is HIV Positive. There is hope that the disease will pass through her system.
Adam throwing another kid in the air.
The poor kid on top had to wear PJ’s sunglasses to reflect his whiteness.
David the natural.
