Pearls of Africa Children's Home

Aid Africa supports an orphanage in Jinja, Uganda.  This was my first time to visit it.  It is called "The Pearls of Africa Children's Home", and I met some real pearls of Africa.  The children were so well kept.  The home was organized and clean.  Everyone was happy and well fed and clothed. Jinja is a lovely tourist town famous for being the source of the River Nile. 
Kyla is teaching the kids how to play jacks. 
These beautiful faces loved having their picture taken, then looking at the results!  
We played football with their new soccer ball.  Peter is in the background taking a picture of every child for documentation purposes. 
Kyla brought some clothes to hand out to everyone.  Her suitcase is now a bit lighter. 
Rossette, on the far right of the group is the lady that started this orphanage many years ago.  She is responsible for the well being of all of these kids.  She has a big family to take care of! 
Rosette, the founder of the orphanage. 
This is probably the amount of laundry she does every day!
This little girl is trying to figure out how this new toy works. 
Kyla's hair is so long she can share it with others!  What a cute photo!  This made the children laugh and laugh.  Everyone wanted to see what they looked like with mzungu hair on their head! 
After a great day in Jinja, we had a wonderful dinner at an Indian Restaurant in Kampala.
