| The Good Shepherd Home is the brainchild of Sister Jane Mankaa who has dedicated her life to nurturing the orphans of her country. Sister Jane saw a small boy sleeping on the street in Yaounde, the capitol of Cameroon. "I asked him why he was sleeping there and he told me that's where he lived," she said. "I brought him some rice, and when I came back to see him the next morning, there were ten other boys with him." She learned that the street children were all orphans whose parents had died of AIDS. "I knew then that caring for these children was what I was called to do." |

| Another dream which has become reality is the opening of the Good Shepherd Home Annex in Batibo, Cameroon for special needs children with HIV/AIDS and epilepsy. The Annex came about when one of the children at Good Shepherd tested positive for HIV and Sister Jane could not find a facility available to care for her. Currently over 30 children live in the Annex; their needs for healthcare are well attended. |
