Saturday I got the opportunity to help out at a children’s orphanage just around the other side of the lake. This particular shelter houses around forty children under the age of ten who have some of the best smiles in the world. It was amazing to see how everyone has their own role within this little community. Although these children are living in pretty basic conditions under fairly difficult circumstances with little adult supervision and care, they all seem so incredibly happy. It’s this youthful enthusiasm that makes seeing a place that could otherwise be very difficult truly wonderful. All these kids need is someone to share their stories with, hold them, and feign an interest in their lives and a pure love and happiness is sure to result (a cricket bat doesn’t hurt either). Nevertheless, I’m sure this is a place I’ll keep coming back to. I guess, in that sense, these children have certainly put a spell on me.
Lieve Coco, wat leuk om je verhalen te lezen. Een unieke ervaring, je maakt heel wat mee. Wat doe je daar in je vrije tijd?Liefs Cornelie
