AWESOME <\/em>NUN<\/strong>: \u201c\u2026As a former orphan, however, her heart ached in a special way for poor young children in the capital city, especially those whose parents had been jailed. In those days, whole families were thrown into prison together, leaving the children bereft of any education or normal opportunities for socialization, and exposed to all manner of abuse.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018You almost had to put them back in the womb and let them be born again, in order to make them normal,\u2019 she said. \u2018But it\u2019s amazing, even in a very quick time, what a huge difference love and care in their lives can make.'\u201d<\/p>\n

I love this, too: \u201cHad this been a project of the community, I would have been under holy obedience. Now I could do things my way.'\u201d<\/p>\n
