Our 3 newest family members have moved in! Their smiles already look wider. New friends have been made, medical checks done and tummies fed. Here they are with the greatest Aunty you could ever find. Alice has been caring for children ever since tragically losing her own in the civil war. For the past 12 …
This delightful man will be talking of his experiences volunteering with Orphfund tomorrow on ABC central victoria 91.1fm at 9am. Sadly his side kick banana boy can’t make it, but its sure to be a cracking listen nonetheless.
