“When you are the Mother to more than 100 children
The responsibility can sometimes become overwhelming
But with the firm support from Change the Truth
Life has been made easier and more manageable
We sincerely thank CTT, and the donors for this critical intervention



We can now afford to have a few orphans with us at home during holidays
It gives them a sense of belonging
And they learn social responsibility
The girls – prepare food & clean plates at home
The boys – wash clothes & clean the house and the compound
Then I can take the opportunity to sit back and enjoy a cup of tea



Our guest orphans are always grateful for the change
Firstly because the food is better than at the Orphanage
But also for the chance to be loved intimately, as a small group
Last holidays (August) we had five (5) lodging orphans
Jackie, Pauline, Kate, Isabella & her sister Petra, plus Boy Boy
They all had a good time for 4 weeks
A few glasses & plates were broken – but that is part of growing up
They enjoyed the fun
And we gave the children all the love we had”



Now and then I get an email from Mama Rosemary, director of St. Mary Kevin Orphanage Motherhood that puts a smile on my face. Just wanted to share this one with you, the friends of CTT to whom she is saying thanks.
