neema orphanage

We spent one morning at the Neema Orphanage this week. It houses and schools 39 children between the ages of 3 months and 13, most of whom are HIV positive. We had a fabulous time - Lindsay immediately snatched up a little baby who ended up napping in her arms the entire morning. Erik was the life of the party, teaching kids to climb the walls and swinging them in circles by their arms. One little boy absolutely hated his beard and kept pulling out hairs on his chin. The kids were amazing - they were clean, fed, and most importantly, happy. It was a great place to unwind and remember the utter bliss of childhood.
