Yesterday I spent the morning and afternoon at the orphanage. This home has 10 kids ages 7 - 15. All the kids attend the CBIA School which I work at. It was wonderful to get to know them and play with them. I mostly had the 5 younger kids ages 7-9. The morning was filled with chores then studying the play time. We played a game called Carrom Board, you can see in the pictures and video. These kids have no parents or family to take them they were literally left on their own, but thanks to the good work of some people they have a nice home to live in and a great house mother to look after them. I will be going daily after school to help with the studies. Children here go to school 6 days a week. The grade 9-10 students attend school from 6:30am until 6pm. All they know and all they have is their education, they understand fully that the only way out for them is by education, it is taken very seriously here. Here are some pictures of the day.
The older kids were did not want to play with us. They are Shumjana who is 10, Shova, 10, Rajundra 14 and Kumar 14.
