Orphanage in Smiltene, Latvia

The members of St. John's Lutheran church are the proud "parents" of an oprhanage in Latvia.  This orphanage is for kids of all ages and specializes in getting kids ready to "graduate" and be successful later in life.  Currently, our orphanage is housing refugee children from the Ukraine, who have been displaced due to the hostilities there with Russia.
