Farm visit and House of Hope orphanage

Yesterday was a great day.

We visited a 5acre farm where Willy, Kami's sister's sponsoree for the past 3 years, works. Willy was a displaced person 3 years ago, today he is the head of animal health at this intensive farm.
Mikey, our sponsoree, was with us. It was fun for Mike to see his first automated milking machine and a career he can aspire to attain.

After the farm we went to House of Hope (HOH). HOH is an orphanage for babies that are disposed of in the nearby slum. Mothers abandon or want to abort their babies, and HOH staff save the babies and offer counseling.
We heard the story of each beautiful child in the orphanage (about 40 kids, the organization has run for only 1 year).  The Word of Life church in Red Deer, Alberta kick-started this orphanage. They have dreams for a larger building as well as to obtain foster parent and adoption status as an orphanage.

Enjoy the cute faces... (we did!)
