They were soon after found murdered. Despite these terrifying circumstances, Hannington was \u201cfortunate\u201d that his community, Bundibugyo, had an orphanage to take care of him and for him to live in. That was at least until the orphanage manager fled and Hannington and the 50 other orphans that he lived with were kicked to the streets.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1110\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1110\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/chrfund.wordpress.com\/2013\/09\/12\/chrf-welcomes-our-new-partner-in-uganda\/has_no_parents\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1110\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1110\" alt=\"Children like this young boy were mercilessly abandoned when the orphanage shut down. \" src=\"http:\/\/chrfund.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/09\/has_no_parents.jpg?w=300\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1110\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Children like this young boy were mercilessly abandoned when the orphanage shut down.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><i>But that\u2019s when CHRF\u2019s new partner, Pastor Vanensio, came to help<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly the community faced taking 50 orphans into their homes or letting them sleep on the streets of their small town.
