We have been doing some odd jobs at an orphanage in our neighborhood. Because of the involvement that we have had, the orphanage asked us to take part in a birthday party for the orphans that have had a birthday in the last three months. We are given a specific child and asked to buy a gift. We are only allowed to buy a piece of clothing and a toy to keep the gifts for all children comparable. Then, we go to the party and spend time playing games, eating cake and celebrating with our child and others. We were given an 11 year old girl named Mery.
We gave her a pink shirt and a backpack for school.
After we were served cake and all the children blew out the candles (as seen below) they all went for a swim, Kevin included. :)
We were very touched by this experience and hope to have this opportunity again with an orphan child in the near future.
