The government orphanages and detention centers where Orphan Helpers works are little more than warehouses for orphaned, abandoned, and incarcerated children.  We have entered facilities with no plumbing, no furniture (beds, chairs, desks, tables) and certainly nothing in the way of reading materials or school supplies. The children can put everything they own in a plastic kitchen-size trash bag.  In fact, they often do just that when the government determines they should be sent to another center. In most of the 15 centers where we work, God has provided many of these basic needs. What are the most important things our children need now?

2 Corinthians 9:7-8

"Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all you need, you will abound in every good work."
