Creative ways of feeding the family

The field children were delighted and completely taken aback by the donation we provided to build toilets and washrooms. The land they have managed to aquite is rented but of course tehy have to find a means of paying the rent other than begging. Each summer they tour the provinces and put on open air performances to the country folk and some money is rasied this way.

As a Thankyou for our support they put on an open air performance for 45 children from the other 2 orphanages. We never imagined it could be so spectacular. The children were extremely talented, their costumes were so colourful, diverse, imaginative, traditional and cleverly made. There was such a mixture of dance, drama, comedy and song. This was especially great entertainment for the children as they don't have TV, videos or DVD's.

It was an amazing chance for all the children to get together and get to know each other. Maybe they will have some new troop members in the future!!!
