Kristen's Internship at the King's Children Home
For my two week internship I had the opportunity to go to King’s Children Home in Belmopan. There were fifty-two kids living in the home which resulted in a lot of chaos. The majority of the time I spent simply playing with the kids and building relationships with them and the other staff. I also tutored, changed diapers, folded laundry, washed dishes, took kids to and from school,
and many other little things to help out with running the home. Running a
place like King’s Children Home takes a lot of dedication from the staff and
only if you have a true passion and calling from God can you continue to do
it. This internship made me realize how blessed I am in many areas of my life and how much I’ve taken for granted sometimes. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I really enjoyed every minute. It was very a very tiring but very rewarding one. I am blessed to have had the chance to go love these kids. Hopefully, it will work out to be able to go spend a day or two with them again before I head back home to the States.

I just got back from a mission trip to the King's Children Home in Belmopan. A group of 21 went there from Apex NC to build a huge cement cistern that will catch store rainwater for use in the home. Hopefully it will help Mama Leonie with her water bill since water there costs 10 times as much as in the states. I'm so glad to hear of others that have gone to help those beautiful children. The relationships that are built there really last a lifetime. The picture of you and josiah is absolutely adorable. He's such a spitfire. I really got to know laquisha and zaira. they are so precious. Thank you so much for working with them

I love Belize and am lucky enough to visit regularly. Now and again I stop by and provide some financial assistance to them. If like most kind hearted folks, you like to help but can not find the time to volunteer. Please feel free to send them financial assistance. I know they will put it to good use.
