Visitors From Around The World

Sunday, March 1, 2009

These pictures were taken at Marie José's orphanage and Center for Malnourished children. She is an amazing woman who is really trying to make a difference in the world. She is head of Maternity at the Hospital in Luputa and then runs her own clinic and orphanage. She has the biggest heart! She has rallied the neighborhood surrounding her orphanage to help out. The children eat their meals at the orphanage but play and sleep in "homes" around the neighborhood. A man rides around on a bike with a loud speaker and horn to announce when meals are being served. She only houses the very sickest and weakest of the children. People from as far away as Mbjui Mayi, which is a far bigger city than the village of Luputa, have started bringing malnourished children to her for the great care she gives.
