Orphanage visit

I really enjoyed spending the day at the orphanage yesterday! There are 31 babies there between the ages of newborn and 3 years old. They were all so cute! I think I am going to be working there on Saturdays now. There are only about 5 staff people caring for the babies at a time, so its kind of crazy there as they all want attention! After work, I was kind of sad because I was thinking about all of the love and attention those babies are missing out on with not having parents. In the 5 years that the center has been running, 88 babies have been rescued, but only 7 of them have been adopted. At the age of 3, the children are moved to a different orphanage with a partnering NGO. I had a minor melt down when I got home, luckily noone was really around! Although it is hard sometimes thinking about the hardships the children face, I am so glad that I was placed with Ripples!
