My aunt opened an unlicensed orphanage in northern Ivory Coast after WWII, and she had the Queen of the Netherland as a donor. Every year around Christmas the Dutch diplomatic mail service would come, heavily armed and very serious, to deliver boxes of sweet treats for the children.
- Theodores 8y agoAmazing story, if I was a fiction writer then not in a million Sundays would I imagine such a thing. I don't think I have seen the word 'unlicensed' followed by the word 'orphanage' before, I might just add '2' on the end and use that for my password.
- nraynaud 8y agoThe whole story is crazy, they were 2 women, and they couldn’t get the papers to open the orphanage, so they legally adopted the kids, one woman adopting the girls and the other one the boys (the idea is to let them inter-marry if they wanted to). I don’t know how safe it is to give the google keywords to find the place.
