  1. Wow, three handsome boys! I know you can't always tell a child's well-being by their expression in a photo, but I sure do want to give Saliko a big hug and tell him he is loved! Maybe he was just having a bad day?

    1. I am feeling so drawn to George. I'm going to pray fevervently for these three boys.

      And yes, I do agree about Saliko. He looks very angry, but I'm hoping it was just that moment in time.
