LOV

This is a neat Mexican group home (albeit humble quarters) for boys and girls - the Lily of the Valley Orphanage in Tijuana. (There's also one in Chihuahua.)

The backgrounds of these homeless children, who live at the orphanage, are unimaginable. For instance, little ones who resided in a prison with an incarcerated parent until LOV came to the rescue.

Gary and Linda Beggs - who minister at the orphanage - operate a blog about their work and feature lots of groovy photos of the kiddos.

The founders of this noble work are Marie and John Sorrentino of San Diego.

Here's the Facebook page.

Speaking of ... Sad story about the 7-year-old Russian orphan who was adopted by an American nurse and has now returned to being in the custody and care of the Russian government. Go here.
