March 2017 Visitors

Hans and Natacha from Belgium who previously lived at Sarnelli House came for a visit almost 10 years after they left. It was a joyful reunion for all and the children enjoyed reconnecting.


Emmy from The Netherlands arrived for 2 months and she joined in the life of the girls from Nazareth House. She was a great hit – a big sister, mentor and one of the girls. Thank you for your enthusiasm, kindness and fun that you bought to all Emmy.


Mike and Janet O’ Connor arrived with their gang from the USA. They came with their daughter Elizabeth Achter and her two children - Barron and Aubrey and  Jen and Ryan Gephart and their two children Tyler and Kiera. Many thanks for all their activities – tie dying, headlice removing, swimming were among the few things they did with the kids. A big thanks to Jen and Ryan and the Kohler water company for the donation of water filters for all the houses. Hope to see you all again.
