The ages range from 3 weeks to 5 years old. We have visited them a number of times to play with the kids.
The orphanage is different from what we experienced in Guatemala. These children are from families that cannot take care of them at their young age, for various reasons. After the child reaches 3-5 years old, family members (usually extended family) come and take the children back to their homes/villages.
Sister Nathalia is in charge and notes that she has been there for the last three years.
The orphanage was started in 1953 and is run by the Tertiary Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi
