Roslin Orphanage

Roslin Orphanage at Kupang is not what we usually understand an orphanage to be. The kids are from a parent or parents who don't have the resources to raise them. ISTM that this is more akin to a boarding school for the poor, at least from my understanding of the terms.
The mission of Roslin is to educate. And so the children live here through university. They do not age out at 18. If parents withdraw the kids before graduating, they must repay the costs.
Parents visit on occasion, and there is housing for them.
I'm told that there are 31 kids here now and that more than 150 have passed through the program. They have doctor's, lawyers and more among their alumni.
The 1st 3 pictures are in the central space of the orphanage. In the 3rd picture, the Roslin Kids (see another post) have gathered to entertain us.
The other 3 pictures are views of the eco-farm next door. This is part of the orphanage where they raise much of their own food.Leer más
