"There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometimes lose sight of this force when there is suffering, too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways."
— Mother Teresa.

Abandoned Baby Center. The Abandoned Baby Center began as a response to a horrific problem: Every day a baby is orphaned or abandoned in Kenya, their parents lost to epidemics, violence and poverty.
"There was no place in the area that provided the kind of intensive, one-on-one care abandoned babies need," Frances Jones, Abandoned Baby Center (ABC) co-founder says. "And innocent little ones were dying. We had to do something."
