Located a village to the north of where I live is an orphan
garden project that is run by woman in the village there. The project is supported by Lynn a Peace
Corps volunteer here from 2007 to 2009 who stays in touch with the community
here and provides the orphan garden with financial support. Her along with her sister inlaw Pic have been
visiting for the last 2 weeks. They
brought me a care package of oreos and snacks which was amazing.
The orphan garden is operational on Saturday when many orphans and double orphans from surrounding villages come to the garden to eat a meal and play together. I visited the garden for the first time on Saturday. It is an inspirational place to see the care that these few Bo-Me are able to provide to the children. Everyone pitches in to tend to the garden and help out.
My best Basotho friend named Liteboho pronounced (DE-TE-BOO-HO) has the idea of starting a group to go to the orphanage and organize activities to teach the orphans about life skills and play games and dramas with them. I think this is awesome and we are trying to organize some youth and school kids to be involved.
