A wonderful story

today I had time a chance to talk with Lawrence our program coordinator. My brother asked me to donate the 20,000MK = $132.00CAD to the orphanage to pay for one months food, 2 meals a day and Lawrence wanted to give me the inventory of items. Lawrence and his wife have 5 children and they both volunteer due to lack of employment. His grandparents have both passed away and he inherited the building and the land that the centre is on. When they went to acquire it, an orphan family of 6 were living in it, the head of household a 13 year old girl. Lawrence took them in, yes he now is responsible for 11 children. The girl is now 18 and has finished secondary school and the structure became the child centre. WOW, makes you feel that whatever you did for someone else today, it wasn't enough - now for the great news Lawrence showed me his employment contract for the next 4 months with one of the aid groups from the U.S. Its a big loss for WOFAD but what a deserving man. Lawrence will earn 39,500 MK per month. About 260.00CAD to support 11 kids and a wife. His wife also works/volunteers at the child centre and turns out she was the incredible teacher I met the first day. Every day here I'm amazed at the people.
