September proved a harder month due to logistical problems and lack of staff, but through determination and some effort, the provisions were purchased and transported to the Homes. Our thanks go out to the founder of the Homes for his assistance during that month.
Most of the boys have been gaining weight and a marked improvement in their health is observed. A few of the boys have problems with depression, and counseling session takes place every week. The completion of the new building for the boys has been delayed as well due to the rains.
The girls are seen to be in good spirits and good health as well, but their building constructions have been delayed as well due to the rains.
All in all, the Homes are showing improvement, but the new buildings need to come up as soon as possible. The caretakers have come to know that some families who are in extreme poverty tend to sell their children. It is our hope that the children make it to the Homes before they run the risk of being sold.
