Wayland resident Marni Roitfarb is hosting a cocktail party/fundraiser for La Casa de Fe, an orphanage in rural Ecuador that cares abandoned and special needs children in the heart of the Amazon.  Marni is a pediatrician who specializes in kids with complex needs, and has worked with Casa de Fe (CdF)  for 5 years and has personally witnessed the miracles that the founder, Pattie Sue, and her staff create for these children. If not taken in by CdF, these children would either be killed by their communities (since children with special needs as seen an evil omen) or placed in jail since this rural area has no government programs (like Social Services) to care for such children. Instead these children are given a loving home, food, shelter, medical care and therapies far beyond local capacity, an education, and most of all HOPE.
