I met many children today at Hope, but the one I would like to share about today is Winnie. She came up to me (Alisa) first thing, grabbed my hand and was at my side most of the day, she braided my hair putting flowers in the braids and when we were suppose to go to a different area she would come to find me and take me there. She spoke a little English, but I don’t think she cared to talk much. She just wanted someone to hold her, smile at her and have as her own. As other little ones would come up to me she would tell them (in her own language), no, she is my Muzungu (white person). Later on in the day she got a piece of paper, drew a picture for me and told me she loved me. It touched my heart so much to see that it took so little to make one little girl feel loved and special. Later, I found out that she is one of the newer children. She came to the home in September. Both her parents have died and a man who had taken her and a few other children in could no longer care for them so Show Mercy took them in. What a blessing it is to be a part of what God is doing here.

It makes me tear to see you there, the people I love so much in country I love so much. It is an amazing thing what your doing and I pray that you and the people your ministering to will be hugely blessed. May God be with you all :D Luv Paula
If there is a poor man among your brothers in any of the towns of the land that the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother. Rather be openhanded and freely lend him whatever he needs.
Deuteronomy 15:7-8
