Shana pointed out an awesome part of the Bethany Orphanage site- They have TONS of news pages!! The 4 boys that I introduced you to have an introduction in a news story that was posted back in September 2003 and a couple months after. It gives more of a detail on where the boys came from and how their father passed away. Here is some of the news regarding the boys, and how they wound up at Bethany:
We reported in August about the 4 boys we visited in the local village whose mother had recently died and whose father is very very ill and unable to look after them. Sadly Feleshi reports in his email of the 3rd September: “On Tuesday, 01 September 2003 we received sad news concerning those four boys that their father had died for accident at Kisesa. The man was taken at Bugando hospital, but due to his mind got mental because of the sickness he had –diabetes he escaped from the hospital, which resulted his death when the coca cola truck crushed him. Children are left alone, as team we had decided to take them on Tuesday, 02 September 2003 in the evening. They are at Bethany by now. We have put four double beds in the second room where small children boys sleep.”
Daniel reports on the 10th September: “the boys are looking very happier at Bethany, they really have great company and comfort subsequently they do not look to remember what happened back to their family.”
I sent them the triplets their first letter today. Romadi's letter was sent last week. I can't wait to hear from them and know they are well!
