We visited an orphanage in Mozambique which was completely life changing. I don’t have any way to put my feelings into words about it.
There are currently 25 orphans that were taken in after the cyclone that hit Mozambique February 2007. They were found living alone in the African bush, which is a sign that they weathered out the cyclone alone in the bush, many only 2-3 years old. They are now living together with some orphanage parents, in what they call an orphanage, I call it a large tent. The living conditions cannot be put into words, they live in tents, on the ground, if they are lucky they have a sleeping mat made of reeds. They eat pop and beans every day…only pop and beans…OH…pop is a dry grits like substance. We helped them plant a garden, so hopefully soon they will have pumpkins, spinach, and cabbage. Their bathrooms are nothing more than a hole in the ground, the shower is just tarp covers.
There is not a kitchen, just a tarp structure that holds a fire pit.
There is no dining room table.
There is no sofa.
There are no beds
There is no running water.
Watch the video.
