My Greatest Accomplishment

Everyone deserves a second chance to be loved especially innocent children who are abandoned and left to die in the streets. I grew up as an orphan, who had neither a home nor anyone to love me. I felt rejected and an outcast in my society. It has been my dream since then to help the destitute, to parent the abandoned children and the homeless. I joined a group of people who had the same interest and passion as I. In the January Last year we attended Christian seminars and education centers that train caregivers on how to handle an orphanage. I visited various orphanages to compare what facilities they offered.

August last year I got permit and opened Mercy home which was appreciated from my church abundantly. From my church I got 5 sponsors and well wishers who were ready to help. So far I have 21abondoned children and 5aged women that call Mercy Home their home. The number is raising and we will need a bigger place. I have bought a land where I plan to build and we will relocate in future. This has been my greatest accomplishment of owning an orphanage and a dream come true. I have a vision of changing the world to be a better place for the needy.
