People for Care and Learning--or PCL as those in the know call it--began with the vision of this man, Bob Pace. Bob didn't launch this vision in his wide-eyed 30's. He did it after he retired. This was his plan:PCL is “Inspiring hope and Empowering Potential” for orphans, widows, broken families and persons with little or no hope. In addition, PCL is giving the poor a working chance by the establishment of vocational training and micro-enterprise development. www.peopleforcare.org
PCL operates a beautiful, vibrant orphanage in both Sri Lanka and Cambodia. These images of "Daddy Bob" were taken last month. The children had not seen Mr. and Mrs. Pace in a few years, and their faces tell the story as they gather to pray over him. These children are loved! Because Cambodia is not open to adoption, when a child is accepted into a PCL home, they have a home until adulthood. It was during this visit that the orphanage was named in honor of Bob and Clara Pace. Now THAT'S a retirement benefit!

The Pace family and the Garmons do amazing work through PCL. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
I did not know this about the Paces. They (especially she) come to the FBC Library on a frequent basis. Thank you for telling a bit more about this. I will give you some $$ toward your goal. I love those people and knew they had just gone over there but I don't remember them saying they had started the orphanage - - - just that they were going to the mission field for a visit!
