Gentle Hands, Inc.

Today I got to visit Gentle Hands, Inc.  - a ministry dedicated to helping the poor.  At the site they housed babies to high school students, young adults who grew up there and who were also working there, as well as adults suffering from TB.  I was very, very touched and inspired by the work that I saw there.  The kids were so sweet and the staff so dedicated.  I was glad to have been allowed to play and interact with the kids for a couple of hours and eager to go back soon. 

Thank you Tracey Heppner, for taking the time to show me around and also to Rina Fajardo Molenderas for introducing me to Jonathan and Tracey :).

The new building is a work in progress.

Front office.

I couldn't take more pictures inside but I found the place bright, airy and clean.  It seemed like a really welcoming place and the kids are happy and well cared for . 

The three pictures above were taken from Gentle Hands' Facebook page and Inspirational Insights blog...

Got lots of sweet hugs and

 smiles today :).
