Sei Halian Orphan Home
The Childrens' Community Support Home in Sei Halian, Medan, is a home for earthquake victims, which rescued 32 children from Nias. The evacuation of the children was done right away after the March disaster happenings directly to our home in Medan. Pastor Ir. Boimim Sirait, MM, graduated from the University of the North Sumatra majoring in Engineering. Each morning start at 5 am, all the children gather and pray together for one hour and the do the housework by schedule. Some of the children goes to school in the morning and some in the afternoon. In the evenings the children study their lessons after having dinner. And at 7 pm they have worship and close the day with the praying together. All kids must be in bed by 10 pm.
Most of the people in Medan are Christian, but in the villages they are still many people who are still believed in animisms.
While in Nias, where the children comes from there are many people who believe in animisms. We found that there are still children which given a "magic" cloth or object with the reason to protect themselves.
