Yesterday we spent some time at a local orphanage again...here are some pictures. We had a wonderful day with lots of students who came. This was the last scheduled day at the orphanage for the students, however we will probably go during the summer as we can. Many travel on vacation during the summer so the program to "hold the babies" runs through the school year with both of the schools that Bridgette and T.J. attend. T.J. attends the American International School of Bamako and Bridgette attends Bamako Christian Academy which is a small Missionary Kids school with American curriculum. Thank you for your prayers for their educational needs. God has been incredibly faithful. Many students and their families will be returning to the states and not returning in the fall. We are praying for those families that God is bringing to Mali.
Pray for the babies of Mali, there are many challenges that face the people here. Many families simply do not have enough money to feed another child and so they are left or their parents have died leaving them alone. This particular orphanage tries very hard to find some family members to place the children with.
