Our First Visit to an Orphanage

We finally had an opportunity to visit a nearby orphanage.  
It turned out to be a good day with many positive moments.

After the presentation, we all played with the kids.
Interacting was what we were looking forward to more than anything.


While J.  and I did face painting, K. and Em. helped with crafts .
Everyone made friends.

One highlight was that O and V were agreeable about going with us to visit the children.   They even went to the market with me to help purchase the goodies (oranges, cookies, candy, drink, etc.) to bring to the orphanage.   They told me all the things that I should bring.   I thought I would get soda as a treat and V said, "No! No. Juice."  : - )

The other bigger highlight was the reunion of our new friends with  Pastor V.      
Pastor V. has know O. 'forever'.  Apparently this was the first time they have seen each other in two years.
