Celebrating Anabel's Special Day: Birthday Update for April 21 2025

Monday the 21st is a big day for little Anabel in Ghana.

Anabel was abandoned by her mother when she was three years old. We have

worked for her welfare and have been providing for her care since that

time. Monday is Anabel's birthday. She will be six years of age.

The last three years have been a difficult and challenging time. Aside from the

monthly fees for shelter and food at the childcare center where she is staying and

the bills for her education, she has had her share of childhood illnesses and

accidents. And of course, it isn't fun being all alone without parents or family. No

one wants to live in an institution, even if there are no real alternatives.

But Anabel has survived and is doing well and today she is six years old. Quite a

milestone. The shelter will be throwing her a party. If they send pictures, we will

post them so everyone can see how she is doing.

In the meantime, we just received some new photos of Anabel with her new hairstyle,

cut just for the big day. Hope you enjoy them. Happy birthday Anabel!
