Orphanage Update
The Orphanage is now run by a French charity, The Children
of the Queen of Mercy Adoption Association. The children we met
last year have all been adopted by French families and are now
living in France. The children this year hopefully will also be
adopted, although several of them are HIV and because of this
will not be sent abroad.
The children are still very well looked after, but the
helpers have very little time to play with them. We did try
hard this year to teach the children some basic numbers in both
English and Amharic.
Two of the older children about 12 years old were doing very
well. The big hit with the others was colouring as always and a
packet of balloons.
