Hi all. There have been a few changes at OHC of late. The girls now have their own room, which is fantastic as some of the boys and girls are approaching adolescence and need their privacy! News of Biba going to join her husband in America is on the cards. She has gained a visitors visa and will stay in America for 6 months initially. Anandi – a lovely woman whom I have great confidence in – is going to take over, using the training Biba has given her in the last few months.
Also, it has been an eventful fortnight…we had a fire at the orphanage. All the children were in the kitchen and nobody was harmed. We lost everything in the boys room – uniforms, clothes, beds, books and toys – but the fire was put out before it reached the office or the girls room. Thank goodness! Biba and the children are cleaning up the aftermath and repainting the room. A local sponsor has donated US$250 towards the replacement of items and the building repairs. Thank you!
