Our visit to Ayudame

Hola from Kristin! We packed up our donations for Ayudame and the staff at the orphanage. We made a stop at Simon Bolivar Hospital where Josh was born. We toured the orphanage and showed Josh off. The staff commented on how healthy Josh looks and they thought he had gained weight and had better color. We certainly think he gets cuter each day! There were many children, especially babies, at Ayudame and very few staff. We brought formula as one of our donations, and the orphanage director said it came just in time because they ran out. Ayudame was very clean and the staff were very nice. But it was still an orphanage in Colombia and we left very sad. With international adoptions slowed right now, Ayudame's main source of income, the future of these children is bleak. We wished that we could do so much more. There are many photos in the photo gallery.
