News from lovely, but very warm Sudan

Hello everyone!
First of all, thank you all again for the amazing support and kind donations! The development of the orphanage would be possible without YOU.

Yesterday, I was at the orphanage for the first time in 1,5 years and it felt like I hadn't been there for much longer. The boys are all grown, they are looking healthier and what caught my attention most of all was how many they where - there are now 32 boys living in the orphanage, 7 of the boys go to school, 3 go to kindergarten and 1 goes to university. There are also two older men that live their since it has been their home from childhood. These go to a special school for older disabled people where they learn how to do different things that could make them get a job and have an income of their own. One of them got married last year!

I got a list from the principle of the orphanage and a working psychologist of the urgent needs:
- Pampers
- Soap
- Sugar, milk, oil,
- Underwear, perfumes, lotions, detergents
- Water cooler
- Bed covers
- A dining table
- Two water taps and workers to fix water accumulation in the yard

Today, most of these things were purchased and brought to the orphanage. We got a new list of things they are lacking and also they told us that they will be needing help with getting electricity.

I am so happy that i have been able to go two days in a row, i really want to go tomorrow and give them money for the water taps and workers but i don't know if i can make it. The pharmacy conference i am attending here in Khartoum starts on Friday and lasts a week, but i will do my best to visit the orphanage during this week.

Lots of love from the lovely, but very warm Sudan
