The children live in a 7 Bedroom house that also has a kitchen and a common room. They eat three meals a day, attend school (for those old enough), and receive pastoral care. The children receive as-needed medical care. There’s also time for play and enjoyment (although the children could use more toys and games to play with!).
Programs for the Children include;
-
The Caregivers: The children’s daily care (cooking, cleaning, oversight) is entrusted to several Congolese caregivers.
-
Pastoral Care: Pastoral care is provided by Pastor David, the pastor of a local church. Pastor David, twice daily, shares the Bible with the children, sings songs with them, and prays for them. In addition, on Saturday, Pastor David leads a special time of prayer for a period of two hours, and on Sunday Pastor David conducts a worship service for the children.
- Schooling: All of the children (except the very youngest) attend school five days a week. They all attend the same school and are able to walk back and forth to the school from the orphanage.
