Spring Updates

Just as April showers bring May flowers, so is your patience rewarded at long last with an update on all our goings on here at Malaika Children's Home. We have had a great many new additions to our growing farm as well as new volunteers to help things run smoothly in our home. Christina, a Volunteer from Sweden who came over with Babu John is about to finish her sojourn here and we are so sad to see her leave us. We have greatly enjoyed her company and we are all very proud of the work she has accomplished during her stay. Thank you Christina!

Our garden has also had some new additions. In the picture you can see the changes as well as the cow and chicken huts in the background. If you look carefully, you can also see the beautiful bench that was made by Babu John in memory of our dearest Matteo, the founder of the Malaika Farm Project. How very proud he would be...
And of course, with all this mention of our angel, Babu John; we would be loathe not to introduce him! Babu John has been working very hard for us here at Malaika. In the photo, you can see him proudly pushing his cart that he has made himself and donated to Malaika Children's Home. The cart is designed with the purpose in mind of transporting some small foodstuffs such as veggies, eggs and soon milk(!) from the garden to the house itself. We are so very grateful to our friend, Babu John and thank him again and again for his hard work and generosity.
