As it happens often, we learned that more families who would not want to let orphans be left to their fait, faced the same problem with living space.
In 2015 a family graduated from a foster-parents training. Immediately the couple took in four orphaned siblings, three brothers and a sister. It was a difficult time, since the kids had a hard time to refrain from stealing from their parents. They just didn’t know differently because of their former life. The hid bread under their pillows, because the though there would be none left the next morning. The foster parents had to develop an understanding für the life-circumstances that led these children to such a behaviour.
How great was the joy, when die family moved into the new house that the Foundation „The Bridge to Life“ (Die Brücke zum Leben) had built for them. On September 28, 2018 this Home was opened together with the Children’s Home I.
„The difficulties will never end here on earth. But we are grateful to God! His is alive, and he can do great things in us, and he rewards faithfulness and commitment - he is at work in uns and through us!“ the foster-mom said.
