Sunday Spotlight

Another Sunday.

The hardest part of these posts is picking the faces, how do you choose a handful out of pages and pages of faces, sadly aware that these are just a small representation of the thousands and thousands of unseen orphans waiting around the globe.

I'm never quite sure aside from the fact that following your heart is always a good place to start.

So here are just a few of the faces that plucked at my heart this week.

 

Otto is  such a little thing for a boy who turns 9 in 2016 but oh the ripples he's created these last few weeks. Otto was one of the recipients of the Shadow Children Giveaway . As a result, Otto  has over 4700 in a grant to help bring him home. This little love has a wide host of conditions noted on his file  including FAS and autistic features. however, he also has some wonderful insight into his personality for interested families thanks to a 10 day stay at camp last summer where he apparently "came alive".

Scout will also be 9 in 2016 and look at the grin in this picture. Scout is listed as having CP as well as club feet which were corrected a few years ago. She  came to the orphanage at age 3. She's listed as a spunky little girl who is quite the talker, has self-care skills and is helpful. 

Waniya is also 9 in 2016, what a wonderful age! He file lists her as being diagnosed with Cerebral palsy; Mixed specific developmental disorders; Coloboma of optic disc. This little girl has been waiting on RR since 2012 and needs a family to call her own.

Shirley will be 12 in 2016 and has 18 months until she becomes ineligible for  adoption :( She is described as a sweet  girl who wants to be adopted and has had the concept explained to her. Diagnosed with CP, it is said to mainly affect her legs and she has received some surgery for her condition. Due to her age Shirley is eligible for an older child grant with RR of 10000.

Rounding out this week is Judith.Her file is almost as small as her grant at the moment  :( Listed  as having  Cp and dual hemiplegia.  This little girl has a smile that outshines anything else.  At only 4, the benefits of therapy and family can  not be overstated for this sweetheart.

Not everyone can adopt but maybe you can share or contribute to a grant, visit  RR and see the other children who wait, advocate, or whatever uses your strengths and abilities.

Not everyone can adopt but everyone can do something and that's how lives are changed.
