Staff at Holt’s Durame intake center open their hearts, as another abandoned infant enters its doors
By: Phil Littleton, Senior Vice President
Durame, Ethiopia–We’ve spent the last few days in Southern Ethiopia at Holt’s intake care center located in Durame, where we were once again, greeted with smiles and a flower. 50 infants and toddlers now occupy the Durame Center, where the loving staff individually cares for each child who enters its doors.
We were there when a local official brought in another abandoned infant, which seems to be a daily occurrence. Although the children are well cared for by the staff, there are tremendous needs for the center that you can see all around. The children are bathed daily outside with cool water, where there is no working bathroom facility.
In a center where the electricity struggles to stay on, the staff continues to give quality care to children and work by candlelight to feed them.
Please pray for the children and our work in Ethiopia
