went to the 'stepping stones' orphanage...
Interact had a charity drive not long ago and now we were delivering all the donated stuff to them..
whoa.. when we just went in, groups of teens were actually doing... Bible Study!!!
*man,this puts me to shame*
anyway, there was this pastor guy teaching them and they were all orphans..
the place was just a concrete place with a zinc roof...
and the hall was also the same... the whole place isnt even a proper house!!
it's just a roadside place covered with concrete and with a zinc roof.. :(
i can't believe 86 of the orphans stay there....
how to live?!!

the lil ones were soooo obedient..
they hung on to our every word and they were sooo cute!!!
they're all Indian and all Christians..
the orphans actually practice fasting and praying every Friday.. coool..
anyway, we played some stuf with them and they were super super wonderful..
all of them are super polite and treated us like... royalty.. :)

anyway, after playing with them, we gave them toys and stuff
everytime they took something, they would say to me:'thank you, aunty"
so cuuuute!!!!!
anyway, when we prepared to leave,
all of them started shaking our hands and saying thank you aunty..
so sweeeeet!!!! i think im going to adopt them as a start for my ten children...
i reallllly want ten children now

the orphanage is run by.. this pastor and his doctor wife
his wife actually quit her job to become a full time worker for the orphans and the old folk home nearby..
super cool man... i ve decided now to be like her
she my new hero!! :)
but seriously, she's super 'mulia' lar..
i hope to grow to be like her next time:)

well... gtg....
smile!! :)
