Little Darlings Toddler Program
Little Darlings—the name we have given to the toddler group at the Claretian Mercy Home for Abandoned Babies. Most of these children have physical disabilities which have prevented them from being chosen for adoption. RPI set up and oversees this group to provide loving care and education.
