Day two of new kids



The night went well and they seem somewhat settled. The assistant director bought sugar cane for each new child. Apparently it helps replace some of the glue cravings they may be having.

At the end of the day we had four more girls show up from a rescue center down the road. They all seem very happy to be here.

I observed that many of our young kids who haven’t been here long give the new kids quite a hard time, picking on them or poking them with sticks. Don’t they remember how it was when they first came? I know I will need an extra dose of patience and understanding during this time. Please keep these kids in your prayers that they would settle in to the new environment and rules.
