We went to visit this Mother Teresa orphanage near our home. It's for mentally and physically handicapped children. There was a group of Irish girls there doing service. They had come from Ireland to work in the orphanage for a few months. We would have gotten a picture of them but they stayed out of sight the whole time we were there.
We found the orphanage to be a happy place and filled with a beautiful and loving spirit. There are several more Mother Teresa orphanages in the city. One is for the babies. I really want to see that one.
We asked the beautiful sister who was showing us around, how the orphanage was funded and she said, "Purely by donations". She said that everyone was so worried about what would happen to the orphanages after Mother Teresa died. Someone had asked Mother Teresa that very question and she said, "If this is God's work, the donations will continue to come."
