Is the place liveable?” A great question with a solid answer! “We’re on the way now to making it a welcoming and loving home!” We’ve set up temporary housing in bamboo prefab houses and bathrooms now with sinks and a kitchen. Our first lady arrives at our new site within a few weeks.

Stories from the Field: Crisis Pregnancy Center Eastern EuropeAt age 14, Gloria was given to a man in marriage in her home country—she was her husband’s fourth wife.

Stories from the Field – Silver Lining Orphanage XiaoI understand why she left. Our home was too poor and she had been through a rough time.
I just hope she’s happy and that her husband treats her well. Things got worse after that because I had to wake up much earlier than before to find wild vegetables and feed pigs before taking my siblings to school. My brother was 7, my sister was 3 and my youngest brother was only a couple months old. Before waking them up I would cry alone because I was so tired but I kept telling myself that as the oldest sister I should carry the burden alone.
