The children of the Dreamland orphanage are still close to our hearts, but because of your generosity over the past 10 years, Pastor Stanley and the children are not in need financially right now. We have funds to cover their schooling for this year and next. They still hope to move back to South Sudan in the future, and there is no space for them to expand at the refugee camp where they are currently living. However, Pastor Stanley and the children could always use your continued prayers.
