We will never tire of showing pictures of happy, smiling children, because that's how it works at the Happy House.
They come to us as sad, frightened and worried little beings, carrying the weight of the world on their weary shoulders, and then our magic gets to work.
Safe and loved, they go to sleep in a bed and wake up to a breakfast, certain in the knowledge that there will be three nourishing meals every day.
They make friends, go to school , have their own clothes, uniform and shoes.
Now they are never alone, need never be sad and always have someone to praise when they do well, encourage when they struggle and to listen when they need to talk.
Our children are surrounded by people who care - our wonderful Mama and Papa, uncles and aunties, all of whom put the interests of the children first.

With hope in their hearts, the children's smiles come, just as they have for our most recent arrivals, Victoria, 13, and six-month-old Abdulmalik..
