Creating a Childhood for Orphans in Rural Uganda

Blue House Photo Album 2011

The original girls moved into their new home in 2010. New orphans have now joined them. A new director, housemother, cook and guard are assuring that they are all well-cared for.

These photos were provided by Blue House Director Aine Abel, and HMI volunteer Tim Krohn. See also A Visit from Minnesota, excerpts from Tim's journal of his trip to Kazo.
