New photos taken by Coco Barrett between September 4-6, 2009 of the children living at one of the orphanages that Orphanage Outreach supports, "Hope of a Child Home" in Montecristi, Dominican Republic. Can you spot the three new children that arrived over the summer? We've got identical twins now! To volunteer or for more information, please visit: www.orphanage-outreach.org
