Dominica's Orphanage

In February we have had some interesting times. George and Kathy Berkley have been in contact and providing some supplies for an orphanage over the last year. A couple, who were here from the states, the Chatterleys, had both served missions here and wanted to deliver goods to needy so we were able to travel with them and a few other missionaries to Dominica's Orphanage. Dominica is great. She too had been raised in an orphanage. Over the years, she has built a beautiful, clean place where children learn and grow to be good students and good friends. She has developed a choir of talented, confident children. She has also built a school across the street from the orphanage where they are educated. All of this sets in an area that is surrounded by poverty and hopelessness. They are amazing children, very loving, not only to us as strangers but to each other. The teenage boys and girls were so sweet to the younger children. The work being done at the orphanage is impressive. She has had groups come in from the states to paint and provide for many of the needs. It was a sweet experience to be a small part of it.
