Every Child’s Special Day

 

 

A birthday is of course a time for family and friends to celebrate the day someone special arrived.  The once a year event reminds us to let that person know we celebrate having them in our life year round.  Imagine having a family with 70 children! Still, the children at the Bread of Life orphanage are never a burden but actually a great joy.  We only wish there were more ways to show each child that they are loved and special.  No matter what else is happening in our daily schedules, Anna Cazan and the other staff make sure that all the children who have a birthday each month celebrate with cake and presents. No party would be complete without singing happy birthday and praying over the children, in Romanian of course!

aniversare septembrie (18) The children who come to live at the orphanage come from the poorest places in Romania and from the worst family situations.  Many of them probably had never been celebrated before they came.  The caregivers at the orphanage do not often talk to the children about their earlier life.  It doesn’t usually feel right to remind them of dark days.  What does feel right is watching the children enjoy their birthday just like anyone’s son or daughter around the world.

Celebrate these children with us!

Aid for the Widows and Elderly

By George Robitu, BOL Co - founder • January 17, 2025
God’s Word instructs us to care for the vulnerable, especially the widows and elderly. Psalm 56:8 states, “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in Your bottle.” Inspired by this, the Bread of Life ministry extends compassion to the elderly, who often go unnoticed despite their sacrifices and hard work in earlier years.
