Some of the children in orphanages come from tsunamis or broken families, but there are also poor ones that parents cannot support. In Indonesia, the government has public and subvented orphanages, but only the Muslim-based.  If other religions, such as Christianity and Buddhism, are private and the government does not grant financial assistance, such charity organizations will have to raise their funds.

​

The one we are helping was initially set up by a Christian couple who sold their properties. Later, they receive funding from churches or other visitors, but the help is not long term and very unstable.  Recently because of the many natural disasters, more and more children are sent there. Although the Dean is in difficulties, she does not want the children to live in Muslim houses and miss the chance to know Jesus.  

Recently, the orphanage has to move back to their old places because the landlord needs to have the site again. The Dean needs to repair the old house, and some areas need to rebuild too. Thanks to the construction company who willing to sponsor half of the renovation work, but still, the Dean needs money to settle everything.  God moves a sister abroad, and she donates a significant sum of money to help. 

Currently, the hardware needs are settled. It is time to help at the spiritual building. We need more Christians to come, to share, to play and to encourage the orphans. Let none of these adorable kids feel being neglected. They should grow up confidently and beautifully.
