Boys and Girls Private Orphanage

This home for orphans accepts boys and girls usually from maternity hospitals where mothers have given them up for adoption. Also, there are boys and girls abandoned by parents at public hospitals. Depending on availability, this private foundation will raise them to age 18. They receive donations and the administration is in the hands of a group of ladies who are volunteers. They have room for 125, but due to lack of sufficient funds, they currently have 72 boys and girls. There is a public school (K-6) within the premises. It is state funded and is open to other children in the surrounding areas. Volunteers can help in: teaching aid, tutoring, recreation, dining room supervision, basic maintenance, office, etc.
