St. Dominic's Children's Home

We couldn't take any pictures with the kids, as it is against the home's policy, but they were angelic and excited to see us!  There are 35 children from ages 5-15 that live at St. Dominic's.  It is a beautiful property, complete with a school, pool, open grassy fields, a recreation room, living quarters, and a small library.  

We pooled together our own funds to buy toys and school supplies for them, and were told that the gifts will be handed out on birthdays.  

Many of the stories behind how the children ended up there were heart wrenching, including one 10 year old boy, whose father had dropped him off there because his 3 older brothers had all been killed, and the 10 year old was next in line.  It seemed like the children were in good hands at St. Dominic's.

We donated school supplies and toys!
