We wonโt ask you money but as you will see, we live in economic precarity and sometimes it is difficult for us to provide basic care for our orphans and students. Most orphans sleep together in old and rustic rooms as you can see in these pictures. These kids are very happy: always smiling, even if they cannot afford โa normalโ life with normal houses, normal books and classrooms and in spite of the fact that some of them donโt have families.
We are working for them to achieve a better future with all the comforts and warmth that they deserve.
