Busy and meaningful last weekend...

Orphanage...children without parents. Some of the parents are dead, some are just left them behind and some are child abuse. These are the children I saw last weekend. They range from 4 - 10 years old. Mix races, chinese, malay and indian. All happily living in 1 roof and there are like brothers and sisters among themself. I played and asked questions, trying to get closer with them...and I did, with the youngest. When I 1st time saw her, she was standing alone at the window staring outside. I walk up to her slowly and when she saw me, she smile. I smile back in return and bend down. "What is your name and how old are you?" I've asked. Feeling shy and with a sweet smile she answered, "Dina and I'm 4." In my heart I was wondering, how can any parents left or abuse such adorable kids. I saw scars on their hands, legs and face. My heart ache for a moment but I just kept smiling. We chatted and played awhile.

Before I ended my day, I chatted with the care taker, asking about their condition when they 1st came to the orphanage. Most of them being send in by single mum. Some of them had been abused before. I've ask if they still miss their parents. Surprisingly, none of them wanted to go back.

Well...that's how I spend my weekend....meaningful and satisfied...Will plan to visit again....Definitely will.... ;)
