From Ashes to Glory.

Wilson with his new mother and father.

The graveyard is quiet during the night; a path way winds through it. People use it during the day and night to reach their village from a local taxi stop. One night a couple coming home from work, walked through the graveyard to their home, when they heard a baby crying. They went to see where this crying is coming from, they found a newborn baby abandoned on the grave. We will never know why her mother left this newborn girl on this particular grave.

The local taxi stop is a very busy place, with many people waiting for taxis to take them to work or home. Sitting waiting for her taxi a woman noticed a heap of old clothes and trash. She was not sure what attracted her attention, but the next moment she saw a small hand reaching out from beneath the trash. She went to look and found a newborn baby. This little baby boy was left to die under a heap of trash, again we will never know why.

Two newborn babies abandoned, thrown away and never will we know why and never will we understand. They arrived at our home at the same time last year. Holding them in our arms, trying to understand what makes a mother throw them away. Our volunteer workers opened their arms and hearts for these two babies. They held them in their arms, loving them and caring for them during the nights. Many nights they only had a few hours sleep, but this is why we are here. To love each abandoned child with the love of Jesus. Today both these babies are in loving families, adopted.
