We think his name is Ivan.  His mother knocked on a stranger’s door and asked if she could spend the night,  She had not where to go with her baby.  The lady showed her to a room but around 3am she checked and the mother had disappeared.  The lady kept the baby for five days but then brought him to Neema.  The girl had said her name was Mama Ivan, so we think the baby’s name is Ivan.  Poor little sad fellow, he is old enough to miss his mother. Surely she is missing him too.  Please pray for this little guy and his mom that someday they can be reunited.  And if you can please help us keep him by sponsoring him while we have him at Neema Village.  It cost us an average of $300 per month to keep a baby.  We always give them the best care we can so it is expensive to keep a baby.  Thank you for helping, even $30 a month helps. Bless you!


Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They are easier to ignore before you see their faces. It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes.
