Happy Life Children's Home has been a home for abandoned children for the last nine years. Right now we have a capacity of 50 children. Most of the children are admitted here when they are very young (below two months old) owing to the fact that most of the babies are abandoned immediately after birth. Some actually are admitted the very same day they are born. I don't understand what is happening, because late we have been admitting children who are abandoned when they are older; around 1- 3 years old; this is shocking! May be its because of the high poverty levels but this may not fully justify it. The previous week, we admitted baby Privelege but we call him "Prive" - about 2- 2 1/2 years old. This is not the first case but we have seen this trend in the recent past and we can only wonder. Privelege, is very happy to have sisters, brothers and loving mums. I think even before he was physically abandoned, he had already been emotionally abandoned and that has made him very comfortable and happy being at Happylife. Our mission continues "WE give Hope to the abandoned babies."
