They're really orphans

required ad in the local paper (w/passport photos)- to prove orphan status
In context: If no one responds to the ad, it is likely they are orphans.

  1. Fascinating. Are these photos currently running in the papers?

  2. Leah,
    If I remember correctly, it was required that they run for a week and at least 10 days before the hearing. This would give people time to see them. This was the first day it ran. We have the entire newspaper --full of political violence etc.--as a time capsule for them.

  3. Rachel, you don't know me but I have been following your posts with regularity. You are so articulate and honest. They are a delight to read even though the times are trying. Thank you for continuing to post your insights and may the Lord make the days be short until August 23rd (?)

    In Christ and with prayers,

  4. If that doesn't show the difference between Uganda and the USA nothing does!
