Innocent Love

The children in the orphanage have been brought from difficult and dreadful circumstances. Some of the children have deceased parents… or were abused in many ways…many are HIV positive and so on. Yet, they have shown a joy that is difficult for most to find. The staff, children and volunteers are a family. They work together. They love each other and show it in their acts of service to each other.

The girl you see in the picture above was brought in by her grandmother. Lillian is her name. Lillian's mother died of AIDS. She was left in the care of family that could not take care of her properly. At first her grandmother did not want to bring her to the orphanage. However, she or the other family could not care for her well. Lillian was almost dead. At that point her grandmother knew that she had no other choice but to bring her in. Lillian went to the hospital for medical attention. The orphanage is taking good care of her. She is doing very well. However, since Lillian was so malnourished when she came in, she cannot be cured from AIDS.
