Happy Birthdays

You are here: Home / Timeline Stories / Happy Birthdays

There are moments at the orphanage when you see incredible joy in the

children’s faces. Especially when they celebrate their birthdays. Some of them

never had that special day until they came here. Danielle and I add something

extra to the party. I prepare a gift that has become a tradition since we started it

about six years ago. It’s a photo booklet with pictures from their previous year

with us. Every child gets their personal story as a document that they matter. All

the kids rush to the birthday boy or girl when they get the booklet from us.

Unbridled joy.
