Home of Hope - Joseph and goodbyes

Wasswa

I had a lovely time at Home of Hope this morning.

I spent some time with a baby called Joseph. He has Cerebral Palsy and was just abandoned at the home one night, leaving them no choice but to take him in (of course they wouldn't say no)
He is such a lovely little boy, always smiling and I just sat holding him for quite a while.

The girls from YWAM (Another organisation down the road) who have been travelling there with me on Tuesdays - they go nearly every day -are going home this week, after being here for months - before Christmas even. So it was very emotional for them to say goodbye to all the kids they have been seeing so often and getting so attached to. It is scary because in a few months I will be in the same position and it's not nice!
Jennas' Mum in Canada and her womens' group had all knitted some toys for the kids at Home of Hope, and sent them over (air mail, took a MONTH to arrive). It was adorable seeing all the little teddies they had packed in, each with a little draw string bag.
I offered to take photos while the girls gave out the toys and it was lovely to watch.
We also took a photo of the whole team of staff and all the kids which was really nice.
