Text from this PhotoShow:

FA native missionary Jubal's school and Bridge of Hope center have become a refuge for many children in the village.
Alita and her mother were abused by Alita's alcoholic father.
Not long ago, 4-year-old Alita watched her father commit suicide by burning himself to death in their kitchen.
A photo on the wall is one of the few memories she has left of her father.
Shrea is Alita's best friend. Her father disappeared three years ago and her mother is unable to care for her, so she lives with her grandparents.
Like Alita's photograph of her father, a photo album of her family is Shrea's treasure.
But God brought Jubal to their village, and now the girls attend his school and Bridge of Hope center.
Alita and Shrea show Jubal a family album. The girls look up to him as a father, and he often walks them home after school.
Jubal's school is their only chance for an education—and a chance to know Jesus' love.
Alita's grandmother said gratefully, "The children feel that they are treated as at home, their own parents bringing them up. The teachers are so loving, kind. That's the reason they are so happy to go to school."
