Some of our orphan children have become role models for their public school. Their teacher encourages the other children in the class to observe our children to learn from them how to study and to be disciplined. Our orphans coming from remote villages who had no hope in this life were honored by local government officials and distinguished dignitaries at the recent annual Celebration held at their school.
