I'm Lucky

The orphanage was really fun. All the kids were nice, except for Gokul. That's the reason I don't want to go back to the orphanage.

It's good to have a Mum that can help you if you are hurt. It's good to be able to go to the doctor when I'm hurt or sick. It's good to have other food besides dahl bhaht and buffalo milk. I really don't like buffalo milk. It's disgusting. I can't believe the kids are really happy. It's good to have a Mum that tells you off, because she loves you. And it's good that she stands up for you and protects you.

I really hope that the kids will be able to have a warm shower one day and that they can buy land and then they will have somewhere to live.

We have talked about the things we would change at the orphanage to make it a better place for our friends to live. Just owning my own shoes, clothes and toys is a privilege.

  3. Hi there Cody, I'm glad that you have left the orphanage. Chalk it up to life experiences. You will learn to take the good with the bad. Luckily you have a wonderful mother to take care of you. You seem to have matured with everything that is going on around you. What an adventure you are having at the moment. We love reading your blogs. Happy birthday, love nana and koro.
