Weekend at the Mercy Home with Minna

We had a wonderful weekend at the Mercy Home with Minna and also Melissa, a friend of hers who came to help with the babies. As well as enjoying time with the toddlers and babies, we also were able to check on any needs for the nursery and toddlers, (updated needs list coming soon.) Also, with the nursery upgrade now almost completed, we are turning our attention to the needs of the elderly residents. They do have some outstanding and urgent needs, especially the infirm elderly residents. More on that coming soon.

New TV for the toddlers

Many thanks to the friends of the Mercy Home who raised the money for this TV. It will be a wonderful tool for teaching them English.


The children were absolutely enthralled!
