I shared with them Aissa’s story, from her arrival at our hospital in May, 2009 to her reconstructive surgery in Togo. I showed them my photos of her miraculous recovery and asked if they might be willing to house Aissa and her sister for the school year. They readily agreed.
We discussed the particulars such as cost of room and board. The monthly amount of approximately 50$ includes not only food and housing, but all medical care, schooling fees, clothing and incidentals. The older children usually attend the village elementary school which is just around the corner from the orphanage, and has a student to teacher ratio of <40:1. The younger children attend kindergarten classes on site.
We will gather as a team next week to make a decision about where to place Aissa for the school year. Please pray that we would all be at peace and that God would give us his wisdom.
Thank you.
