A Mountain of Garbage

We took this photo last week. A mountain of garbage in the background. A house made from scavenged dumped material on the left and a shelter in the center with plastic bags filled with treasure to be recycled. This is the fate of the poorest-of-the-poor in many third world countries. In many ways Jakarta is a first world city but pockets of extreme poverty are still impossible to ignore. The children born into these families represented here have almost no hope of ever escaping a lifetime of misery or worse.  With the help of folks like you, KOI - Kids Of Indonesia (KOI-kidsofindonesia.org) is willing to accept children or new-born babies freely offered to us and provide them with a way out of poverty. We do not go looking for children but we accept (as long as funds are available) those brought to us. We treat them as our own and fill their lives with love, kindness and a hope for a better future.
We need monthly donations to provide for the on-going everyday needs of Connor's House (our house of benevolence in Jakarta) but we also need an endowment fund to help us through times of economic distress.

Feel free to share our post with anyone you know who might be able to help us lift at least a few children out of devastating poverty. Thanks.
