Orphanage Home Visit.

How time flies. It's been almost 3 months since our last visit here. The Shepherd's Center Foundation.

The first time we were there, it was the first ever visit CARE Club has organized for our term. Of course, due to some setbacks, we were also having another visit to the SPCA on that very same day and time.
Hence, we were separated into 2 groups actually. And I chose to go to the orphanage.



This time around, I didn't have to make the choice. =p I just had to be at one place.
But upon reaching, I was made to make another choice though. To help clean the place up or to play with the children.
Haha. Funny choice given. I really don't mind either anyway.
And so, this group of people volunteered to clean.



It's nothing really. We just helped clean all the fans, clean abit here and there.
Are we missing the fun they're having in the field? Probably?
Heard they played football at the field.


[Warming up before the game.]

Two of the kids actually stayed back, as they were not allowed to play there. They were sick, not just the normal kind of cough or flu we have.
One of them, they called Ah Seng, was mentioned to me that he went into coma for TWO weeks a couple of months ago. Pastor Jacop also mentioned that the fees for Ah Seng's illness cost around RM3, 000 per month. *sigh*
This kid is diagnosed with more than 3 illnesses and the medical fee is so high. This is only one kid.
Can you imagine the hardship they have to go through to save all these children? To provide a proper place to call home?


Even sadder to say, I don't know what kinda help could I actually offer.
Probably what CARE Club could really do is to organize more home visits, in order to tell them they're not alone? =) Yes, that's one that we can really do.
At least we get to see them smile.

But every visits, surely there's something insufficient.
The last visit, we did not have enough plasticine while this visit, we did not bring enough balloons! *argh*
Due to this, we see some children cried, some showed temper.
But being children, very quickly the problem is resolved. Haha.
Guess we need to keep in mind to buy extra of everything on our next visit.


[Heard this fella cried alot. =p ]


[The end of our visit. Right before they go back to bathe and lunch.]

Wonder if we can have another visit to this orphanage again, before the next term. Wonder if our club's budget allows. *sigh*
Hopefully, it's all I can say. =)

It's really good to see trips organised to orphanage homes and the likes. Even though you feel like it makes small difference sometimes, I think it makes a big one for them, knowing that there are people out there who love and care for them enough to take time off to be with them. :)
