The smaller orphanage is fairly self sufficient for the majority of the year. They have a pond where they grow and catch fish for dinner, a frog farm, rice fields that they harvest and it supplies them for about 10 months. There a several very talented young boys (13 to 15 years of age) that teach the younger ones how to play musical instruments and how to become mechanics. Dang, who is 13, is building scooters and dirt bikes from spare parts and sells them to help support the orphanage. truly amazing. This experience has been such an eye opener to all that we have in the US - how little it takes to truly survive and thrive. As Pastor Ryan said, all should do a mission trip of some sort to realize what we have and what others don't. Love and hugs to all - miss you very much!
