Grace Village today was amazing!    What a beautiful home for the orphan children…….filled with love and hope for a bright future.   Upon our arrival, the children and staff greeted us with smiles and open arms.    We were given a tour of the facility which included the new outdoor pizza oven; the children’s dormitory (which included all of the neatly made bunkbeds…...yes….they are given daily chores.    We saw the beautiful Grace Village chapel which is used for many purposes in addition to worshiping…….they eat meals in the chapel and have social activities as well.    We then toured the classrooms where children from pre-school through 10th grade are educated.    We had the amazing experience of touring the hydroponics facility and their beautiful garden.   The children have a beautiful playground and basketball/multi functional athletic court as well.


The children were absolutely darling and precious!    They loved being held…..especially the little one who climbed into my arms and quickly snuggled and fell asleep!    She had the most beautiful little cherub face.    What a blessing for me to be able to snuggle her and know that she was at such peace.    The little boys loved playing with the guitar…..strumming away.


Grace Village has future expansion plans including a chicken coup and soccer field.   It was such a joy to see that these children are not only thriving in this orphanage, but have the opportunity to receive an education and life skills to afford them the opportunity to leave Grace Village when they reach adulthood and go on to college and career opportunities that will enable them to support themselves.


Grace Village is most certainly a gift from God! - Kim
