Below are a series of profiles of the children from Ryvanz-Mia Orphanage. Please if you would like to know more about any particular child from the orphanage, please email Venus.
I am creating a slideshow gallery of the orphanage and around... See it here!
The children range in age from four years up to 14 years old. 10 of them reside in the orphanage, where they attend Delta School sponsored by volunteers.
They learn to be responsible, values of education from childhood, and with volunteers and experienced, incredibly hardworking mother supervising the home.
They are expected each time to do homework from school and chores before being able to play with their brothers and sisters. They eat, work, study and play together, this infuses them with the sense of family that they desperately need. Most of our kids were orphaned by the death of their parents. Once you decide to sponsor any of the kids you will get periodic update including letter from the child you are sponsoring for only $30USD a month you can feed, cloth and provide school supplies for a child.
The kids are steered away from lives controlled by anger and revenge rather we rely on the kids to foster a sense of love and commitment within themselves. It is also the mission of Ryvanz-Mia Orphanage to instill the values of education, show respect, humble and tolerant to each other, approachable and be prepared to learn new things that we can expect them to change. The kids are always happy and looking forward for your donation and sponsorships.
