Surely, whatever we do for these boys we do for the Lord.
My friend Alla organizes everything at the Bible Orphan Ministry. She knows the director of the institution and says that he cares and tries to do his best, but they are not given enough from the government to support the boys. Alla has asked for people to step forward and commit just $15 a month toward the boys' care. She will provide accountability by taking pictures and sharing what is purchased for the boys. She said she can provide invoices so we can see how the money is being spent.
The Bible Orphan Ministry is not a large organization with salaried positions. It is a ministry made up of just a few people, once orphaned themselves, who work every day for the orphans in the towns near their own. They are truly living by faith, trusting the Lord to provide for them and for their ministry.
They bring the gospel to those who are locked away and have no other way to hear it, but they also come face to face with real physical needs. They see extreme needs and they ask for help in meeting these needs.
What else can they do but ask? For those of us living in the state of comfort with most, if not all, of our real needs met...what can we do, but answer?
The Lord said when we clothe the naked, feed the hungry and visit those who are locked away...we do these things for Him. These boys are hungry, naked and locked away. It is an amazing opportunity and a real blessing to see Jesus in the least and to be able to do something to help.

Please go read Alla's post and see the faces of these boys. It takes courage to really see them.
Read what she has to say about the institution and the needs they see there.
Please pray and ask the Lord to send people willing to help them.
