blacklover Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hello, everyone. I did something really awesome today and i feel like sharing it with you, guys. Today I went to an orphanage an hour far from the city i live. A really poor orphanage, 'cause the goverment had desert them. So they basically live from donations they recieve once in a while. The headmaster died few months ago, and some other orphanage took the girls away from them.. 'cause there were rumours that some girls were being molested by the guys who took care of the place. So, me and my friends created a group called "A friendly hand", and we gathered lots and lots of food, clothes, meds, toys, stuff we thoguht they'd need, even a few doctors to do them a free medical exam; And we went to the orphanage. I saw how their faces went from sad to happy. They smiled at me, and trust me when i say they did it from their heart. One of them told me "this is the best day of my life". I got tears in my eyes as i'm writting this. Words can't describe how amazing this experience is. We made their day. And the case that shocked me more was a little 8 yrs old kid, who they thought had ADD 'cause he could focus on one thing for too long. I noticed that he narrowed his eyes everytime he tried to focus on something. So i made an ophtalmologist to check him. At the end, he didn't have ADD, he is just extremely myope; which means he just can't see too well. Better than toys, food, clothes... We gave them hope, we gave them a reason to smile and more importantly, we let them know that the goverment may have forgotten about them.. we didn't and won't. xxxx Nickz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maize Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I was in an orphanage for the latter part of my childhood and appreciate what you're doing there. I hope you're able to keep up the good work for these kids. The difference and the hope it gives them is undoubtedly immeasurable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
