Discover

So discover-to-recover is a home for kids with AIDS whose parents have passed or families have outcast them. Some of the kids aren't infected, but are orphans of parents who were HIV positive or have siblings who stay there. It is now home to 48 kids. They sleep 3 to a bunk, but now thats not even enough, so the small ones sleep on top of rubbermade tubs. This week someone on our team bought 3 new set of bunk beds. The kids were pretty stoked. Here's some pics of kids who live there...
This is Derek, he's uber sweet and has really good english.

Baby Paty and her sister Dorcus. Paty is theee chubbiest baby I've ever seen
Benja :) He is the best. Super funny and 1st in his class. He's always reading books. The other day we pulled his tooth out cuz it was barely hanging on, then made a big scene, and he looked at it then chucked it over the fence. It made me laugh how different that whole scene would have played out had he grown up in America. Great kid.
