Hi everyone. We’re here in Bali again and have just returned from spending a couple of afternoons at the orphanage. The children have all grown a lot since we last saw them. A few of the children have since left and so now there are 23 from 29 last year. All are healthy and were happy to see us again. 

This year we managed to take photos of most of the kids with the exception of a few that were still in school. We also chatted with each of them to get to know them a little better. Our friends Nora and Greg also came along and dropped off some toys and sweets for everyone. Thanks Guys. 

Here are their photos along with a little write-up.

Hi everyone! We’ve finally got the Auntie Grace Blog up and running and thought we’d keep you up-to-date on what’s been going on. First off – we’d like to share with you some photos of the orphanage and the children from our trip last year. We figured it would be a good idea to see where your contributions are going.

All the children are doing great. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

More to come!
