I am back in the south campus and missing the small kids up north, and there was just not enough on the blog about my trip there! Check out this very cute video of Ruthy. She is always the entertainer! The video is quite dark, but it;s still worth watching to hear her sweet voice.
I also posted this group picture in the campus of CCH. The solo picture is of one of our adoptable kids. I am so touched by his spirit and life. This little boy is only 8years old. He has been in the children’s home since the first week of his life. He was surrendered by his parents last year because they can not support him. He has 7 siblings who do not live in the children’s home, he is the only one in the home because when he was born his father suffered from Tuberculosis and his mother was also ill. They could not afford to feed or care for their new baby. Despite his life away from his family, he has embraced life with an upbeat attitude and outgoing personality. The nurturing, physical care, and love that he is given inside of CH has enabled him to grow as God means for His children. This is notable especially when you can meet his siblings. His siblings are all malnourished, have never gone to school, have no concept of cleanliness or hygiene, and live only under banana leaves as their shelter. I feel sad and helpless to see this family. But, I know that the best thing to do is continue to love and thank God for the life of our boy in CCH, who will be different. I wish we could help them all, but we do what God puts in our hands and rest assured that God does the choosing.
For now this boy does well in school, he's in grade 2 now. He is quite independent, and always trying to accomplish his school assignments on his own. He is an animal lover and one of his favorite things to do is collect insects. He also loves drumming, dancing, and basketball. And, his smile is better than almost anything in the world!!
