Pastor Bartolome stated this orphanage about 8 to 10 years ago after the war started in Cote d'Ivoire. Pastor Bartolome is one of our Baptist Pastors in Cote d'Ivoire who saw a need for some children. Most of the children in his orphanage lost their parents in the war or were abandoned by their parents.
This is a group shot of the 25 children staying at the orphanage.13 girls and 12 boys. A few of them are not in this photo.
This child was not feeling well this day, probably malaria, so he did not come out to greet us as is the typical custom in Africa.
This is an outside view of the children and their house. As you can see it is a work in progress. The inside of the house is as bare as the outside. There is only one or two beds in the house and the rest of thechildren sleep on hard mats. The beds do not have mattesses so the ones that sleep onthe beds also sleep on a hard mat.
Yep that curtain is one of their doors. We do give praise as God has provided for this orphanage. Someone basically gave them this house and a medical team that came to Bouake gave them s few supplies. But as you can see these children need a lot of prayers. Please pray that God would provide for their every need.
