SO many years have passed, but my support for the children continues. I can be relied upon to bring up the subject of Aids orphans with monotonous regularity, and also the contrast between children who really have nothing and those who have too much.
At Christmas last year I'd heard that the dream of the orphanage was to have guttering and water butts to save some of the water from the rainy season to use during the long dry months. This I paid for instead of buying a load of useless gifts for friends who really don't need anything more to clutter up their already full houses. All my friends were delighted with this, and as I told them, their gift is now a length of guttering on an orphanage in Botswana.
I still have hope that one day I will be able to return there to see the wonderful orphanage that has now been built and is filled with happy, cared-for children.
