Crisis Nursery

Well, a couple of months ago, I started going a few times a week to the Crisis Nursery.  The mission of this nursery is to take abandoned babies, or babies with no one to take care of them, and nurture them until it is possible for the babies to go back to their fathers/villages or to an orphanage.  Since going, we have really gotten to know the babies.  They have formed bonds with us, and can't wait to get out of their cribs.

The children there stay in their cribs most of the day.  They get to come out after nap time, from about 2-4.  This is also the time when the house mothers change shifts.

Right now, this nursery has 3 rooms and about 15 babies.

When we first started going to the nursery, all of the babies were really sullen, with no personalities.  They didn't even cry!

The more we have gone, the better they have gotten, but they still need more love.  Here are some pictures and a video . . .
