Orphanage Africa

On Christmas, we visited an orphanage in a small village called Ayenyah.





There were special guests there that day.






This was an amazing place, with running water, beds and nets for the children and caring staff. This place is environmentally friendly, using a windmill and solar panels to generate their own electricity.


There were gifts for every child at the orphanage. Among these gifts were around 25 pair of shoes that were donated by families in Oakland.



Jane and Michele are friends from Oakland who are volunteers with the orphanage.







The orphanage made quite an impression on Jessie. When we returned to his area, he spoke at great lengths to all his friends and family about this wonderful place for children that he had visited. He talked passionately about the life these children have and the good conditions in which they are living. These kids have a better life than many of the children in Jessie's area and he was very moved to witness such a caring environment.
