Easter Photos from The Anawim Home








Here are some photos of Sr. Oresoa, sisters at the Anawim Home and the orphans that they help celebrating Easter. As you can see there is so much one on one attention and nurturing. The family atmosphere is so obvious. What a blessing to be an orphan at the Anawim Home, where the children get such loving care, compared to state run orphanages.

God bless the sisters for their selfless devotion to the well being of the children. Sr. Oresoa believes it is a privilege and a gift to be able to serve the poor. Not all of us can do the kind of work the sisters do, but we can support and encourage those who do. If we would start showing more love and compassion to the world, others will notice and many will begin to do so also.

A quote from Mother Teresa:

"I called you by your name," Jesus said. "You are mine. You are precious in my sight. I love you." If you love Christ, it will be easy for you to fully belong to Jesus and to give Jesus to everyone you find. God loves me. I'm not here just to fill a place, just to be a number. He has chosen me for a purpose. I know it.
