This is truly mind boggling. How can people possibly treat another human being like this? How can this happen?
This beautiful little girl is ELEVEN years old. She weight TEN pounds. She is so tiny that she fits into an infant bouncy seat. Our children grew out of those by the time they were 6 months old! This precious child has spent her entire life in an orphanage where she has never gotten enough to eat, has very rarely been taken our of her crib, and has not gotten any of the therapy or medical treatment that could have allowed her to be a smiling, laughing, talking, walking, truly living little girl.
And she is not the only one. Reece's Rainbow has information on several children from this same orphanage who are in desperate need of families to love them and give them a chance that they will never have where they are now.
I don't want to believe that this type of thing happens. But it does happen. And it happens much more that anyone would like to think. I want to just close my eyes and pretend that I did not see these pictures, but I can't. I had to share this with you. Just knowing that this type of atrocity is still happening in our world is the first step in winning the war. Together we can make a difference.
