From Hope Anne's blog - about the "oxygen":
"Upon further inquiry, we found out that the froth we were spooning into our mouths was made up of apple juice and Wild Rose Hips (which are very high in Vit C and other good-for-you things!) whipped into a froth. Dr. Chan said it was her professional opinion that we probably weren't really receiving any extra oxygen into our bodies, but that it was certainly an ingenious way to make sure that the children took supplements and herbs! We asked if the children like the froth, and were assured that they do--that some do not like it at first, but soon grow to like it. They said they change the combo of stuff from time to time, depending on what the children need. It was obvious to all of us the whole week that this orphanage prides itself on caring well for their precious charges!"

Matthew 18:1-4 (NIV)
At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a little child and had him stand among them. And He said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
