Working for children and living with them must be a happy job. Some visiting friends say so. I should say it's a happy job for me because it's a part of a God given vocation to me. I can't think of doing anything else at this moment.
Our organisation is named Familia and its aim is to provide an alternative family for children who have lost their parents and families. And my job is to love and take care of these children as a father. These unfortunate souls come with many burdens such as harmful effects of rejection, trauma, abuse , hunger, poverty, violence, insecurity and so on. I am not a Messiah but I do whatever I can to unburden them or lessen their load as much as possible and give them a happy childhood.
