On Saturday, Mike and I were invited to visit one of the Day Worker's houses and meet her "children". Abdel and Prince have been married for just over two years now.
When she agreed to marry her husband Prince, she agreed also to raise ten orphaned children that he had already brought into his home. With the sponsorship from a couple from Norway to fund the orphange, Prince and Abdel have done a wonderful job with the children. I use the term "orphanage" but in reality they are a family.
Abdel and Prince have no biological children of their own but they, along with the help of two Aunties, have embraced these children as if they were their own. We had a marvelous time with them.
The outside of their 4 bedroom flat-the fourteen of them share. They are looking at renting the second floor in Novemeber so they can bring a few more children into their home.
Looking down their lane. I was so impressed with the neatness of their area, which is rather unusual for Freetown.
They have no TV or video games. But the children share what they have, colouring books, board games, cards etc. They interact and play with each other just like siblings. What a marvelous ministry Abdel and Prince are involved in!
This young man aspires to be president one day. The young lady desires to be a doctor.
