First Village Experience





During the summer, all 53 of the children and 4 house parents who live at Shelter of Love do home visits. This means that they all load up into three vans and travel to the various villages of where the children are from. The children see parents (if they are living), aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. I asked to go on one of these home visits, and it worked out that a home visit was planned for that week (which was last week, on September 8.

So we loaded up the vans, all of dressed in dark pants and Shelter of Love tee-shirts, and headed off to the one hour trip to the first village. We were off to visit three villages.

We drove on the highway for about 30 minutes, then turned down an orange-dirt muddy road for another 30 minutes. As we bumped and squished down the road to the village, I was amazed at the beautiful palm trees that lined the road.

I hope you enjoy these pictures. It was an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING experience. WOW. Words just can not even justify this experience and what my eyes saw and what my heart felt. ENJOY.........
