It's becoming more and more popular for people to give a present to someone in need, rather than spending money on a loved one who doesn't really need anything. So imagine sharing your holidays with an orphan. Every Christmas and Easter we place our children at the little children's home in temporary foster families. This gives our workers a much-needed break to be with their families, and gives our children that special attention that only a family can give.

These pictures are of Marianne, who's family has just picked her up (see the below), from last Easter. She is with Aubrey's good friend, Aiden, and Aiden's grandmother. Yesterday and today all of our children have been picked up by their respective foster families and are now basking in the glow of a mom and dad, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles. (And I'm sure they're also imposing themselves on some normal routines.)
