This month we are working at Caminul Felix in Oradea, Romania. Caminul Felix is an orphanage with 200 children. For 4 years I have wanted to volunteer at an orphanage in Romania. This is such an amazing experience being here!

Caminul Felix has been around since 1990, and has developed “villages” all around the world. The concept is this…they build houses and have a mom and dad in each house. Then each house houses 8-13 abandoned children. I love this concept because the children feel like they have a home, and they do. They have a bed to call their own, and when they get older, they have a family to visit on the holidays.


We have only been here one week, and its already been so great! In the mornings, we do construction on future homes in the village. In the afternoons, we are divided and spend 2-3 hours with our families. I can’t believe I have only been here for a week. When I walk into the house, the kids greet me with HUGE hugs. We dance around, play vollyball, laugh, and talk about life. I have been able to share with them the love that God has for them. My main mission this month is to show these kids that they are not orphans. THEY BELONG to a much larger family. They are HIS Sons and Daughters. This is going to be a really hard month to leave!

P.s. I stepped on a 6 inch nail during construction…please keep me in your prayers!
