One of the big lessons we were reminded of with the Tree of Life Children’s Village opening this year is why we are doing what we do. Why are we concerned for children who live over 10,000 miles away? Why do you pack up for a few weeks in the summer in order to travel to a third-world country?
The kids who live at the Tree of Life were rescued from some of the most horrible situations in all of Zambia. Knowing where they came from and seeing their smiling faces in their new lives gives us a good picture of why we are working for the orphans of Zambia. In the video below Nora shares the story of her life before moving into the Tree of Life. She will always carry the scars from her previous experiences, but as Psalm 71:20 says “You who have made me see many troubles and calamaties, will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again.”
