Orphan Situation - Thousands of orphans due
mainly to poverty, disease and civil strife.
ICC
is challenged to help - In
early 1997 a feasibility study was undertaken and a
place chosen in the delta region to develop a Children’s
country home campus. In late 1997 Paul Edgren organized
a giant auction in Redding, California. Profits from
this auction provided the funds for the first two homes.
ICC is developing a Children’s Country Home Village
on an acreage in the delta region, south west of the
capital, Yangoon.

Child
Profile, Abraham - Abraham’s father died
soon after his birth and his mother remarried. The
stepfather was irresponsible and did not care for
the family. His mother worked hard to try to provide
for the family but became very ill. She died during
childbirth and the step father abandoned the children
and disappeared leaving Abraham without anyone to
care for him. He and his older siblings are now
being cared for by loving house parents.
