These boys are in need of an immediate home because their time at the orphanage is running out and they will be placed in a government orphanage where they may never have a chance to be adopted.  That day is drawing near for these boys so we would very much like to help these brothers experience hope, love and a bright future with a caring and encouraging family.  **Available to any qualified family.
