This little store is helping to support nine orphans.

Robert’s orphanage, Vision of God Children’s Home, is working hard to become self-sufficient. They have some space right along the street so they opened up a little store. They sell lots of things, from gum to toothbrushes to a few soft drinks. It is kind of like a corner convenience store. Their average profit is about $125 a month ($4.40 a day)—not bad for a backwater town like Kalaymyo in a remote corner of Myanmar.

Hopefully their store will become large enough to provide for all of their needs!

For self-sufficiency,

Elisabeth Walter
Director, Orphan’s Tear division
