On Tuesday, we went to visit the orphanage in Villa Israel. This is the orphanage that is currently searching for house parents. It has four little boys (picture included) Joel, Brandon, Samuel, and Erlan (oldest to youngest). Joel is about nine and the others are approximately two years apart. They were taken away from their mother after the community the boys were living in petitioned the government to take the children away. They had been raising each other and running wild. We think they are a
little behind in education, and we tried to address that problem. Yes, that picture of Brandon laughing in my lap while Sydney tries to read him a book about the alphabet... He´s not laughing. It´s more of a squirming attempt to escape and not learn the alphabet. Anyway, we get to visit them and help the temporary house parent with providing the presence of some discipline. But don´t get me wrong, we still play, and they are such a joy to spend time with!!
