Sorry the last posting about the orphanage got deleted. I was trying to fix something on it and ended up deleting it completely...and I don't know if everyone saw it, so I'll rewrite about it. A few weeks ago about 30 of us teachers went to an orphanage about an hour away and got to play with the kids there for about 2.5 hours. We brought them balloons, candy, shampoo and a few other things, which they really loved! Most of all I think they just enjoyed us being there - I figured that out when just minutes after being there and meeting some of the kids, they just wanted to walk around holding your hand. You know it has to be tough on a kid not having any parents, no matter how nice of a place he is staying at and this place was really nice for China. We played basketball, ping pong, duck duck goose and every game imaginable with balloons and they loved every minute of it :-) Over the break I am hoping to get a chance to work at an orphanage in Thailand, but if that doesn't work out I may try to work at this one.
