  Christmas tree with the children of Saint Therese orphanage  

The Children of the Saint Therese orphanage had their Christmas tree celebration on 14th december.

The Missionary Sisters of the Resurrection are bringing God's love to under-previleged children at the Saint Therese Orphanage in Obili Parish.

There are about 22 children at the moment but their doors are opened at every moment to welcome new children as it is the case quite often.

They also depend on the generosity of many benefactors to be able to take care of the children.

The Sisters started a pre-school at the orphanage at the begining of the 2011/12 academic year. Some children from outside the orphanage also attend the school.
