Deep breathe… orphanages in Africa

You can’t travel very far in Africa or discuss issues of the day without talking about orphans. It is one of the saddest things to think about all of the orphaned children on this continent… millions and millions. While many kids are reabsorbed into their village by other family members, many families have been so devastated by AIDS that they just can’t afford to feed

and clothe (and send to school) all of the kids. So there are many, many orphanages around (though not enough), all hoping to meet a wealthy American or European donor to help.
