Jito childrens institution

Meet a wonderful lady today Isabel Kayumba who has a heart for helping orphans and young unwed mothers. This is a goup of pictures that we took at here place the house in the background is about 14'x14' and divided into two rooms. Right now she has a caretaker and one young unmarried girl who has a little girl staying here,she is the girl to my right. She looked to be somewhere around 14 or 15 ,she asked us if we would take her to the US. The ophans are staying with different families now but it is a strain for the to feed them. Isabel's goal is to start an orphanage and home for unwed mothers. The picture with Rod and the yellow bucket is their borehole or well,the bucket is used to draw the water it is then boiled and clorinated to make it safe to drink. The thached hut is like most Africans kitchens. The picture of Rod with the little boy was funny were we the first white people that he had ever seen and he didn't know what to think of us.
  Jito is a Kaonde name which means aplace of safety or hiding place.
