CONIN isn't bad afterall

We had the opportunity to see new children come into CONIN for a variety of reasons. At one point a brother and sister were both brought to CONIN. Their parents were declared incapable by an agency to take care of them. We had the chance to see the little girl just after she arrived at CONIN. She was filthy. From head to toe. It looked like she had been playing in dirt for days. It was good for me to see it, because it reminded me that for most of the children at CONIN being there is a better option than being at their homes. While CONIN is not the ideal place to spend your childhood, it is a great orphanage. The kids truly are cared for, and it is by far a better place to be than their previous homes.

Marco, after being at CONIN for a few weeks--Looking MUCH better.

Cute little Marlene, all nice and clean :)
