  12. Great work team. This brings back some memories of the first time I ever visited an orphanage. It was amazing and same time touching. I was very glad that they found themselves as family and I also felt it that the only new friends they meet are those who are always brought into the orphanage.
    Visiting orphanages and showing them love lets them know that they are not alone and they do have friends outside the walls of the orphanage. Once again, great work guys.

    1. Very true! But I must commend some orphanages. The one my team visited recently had very good-looking kids. They were chubby. One wouldn’t even know that they belong to an orphanage. 3 out of the kids are in the university, and from inquiry, they were brought in years ago when they were yet babies.
      Some orphanages are better off than biological homes.
