This festival visited Shalom Orphanage Centre just to be a blessing.
Every child has a dream and it is our hope to give our children opportunity to use their skills and gifts to reach their full potential and to see their dreams become reality.
Shalom Orphanage ensure each child
receives food, shelter, education, medical care and love. Specifically through
education we can combat diseases and poverty and enable our children to grow up
in a world free from the threats of illiteracy, child abuse, starvation and
HIV/AIDS.
More of that, this children got
different talents, that's why one of my contribution to this handsome and
beautiful children is to raise their talents.
Special prayer from children
Let us join together helping more
than 60 children's dreams become reality.
The Shalom Orphanage Centre is
located in a small town called Karatu in Tanzania. The Centre is about a two
hour drive from the airport, and very close to both Lake Manyara National Park
and Ngorongoro Crater safari destinations. It’s in a green valley, down a rough
road away from the main road. The orphanage is currently a home to 70 children,
aged between 1 and 17 years old. It was founded by Mama Warra Nnko in 2004 and
has grown a lot since then. The orphanage sits on a two acre plot of land that
was purchased through donation. It comprises a number of buildings where the
children eat, sleep, play and are also schooled. Most of the children arrive at
Shalom through the death of their parents or because they have been abandoned.
There are around 20 staff that care for the children and tend to the grounds
(the orphanage has a few animals such as milking cows, sheep, pigs,poultry, and
also is garden where some food is grown) The Orphanage runs a pre-school for
around twenty of the youngest children. The older children attend an english
medium school near by and some are still attending at a local government
primary school even closer. All the children are looked after extremely well
despite the Orphanage’s limited resources. They are full of energy, love
playing games, and LOVE having visitors!
Remember to put a smile on
someone's face.
