We made a decision to leave the orphanage. I will really miss all of the kids. We all had so much fun together. But I don't like two of the men from the orphanage. One always promised that he is going to give us goat or chicken to eat, but he never did.
He also promised other things, but he never brought them. The other man is mean to the kids and he tells lies. I liked Bhakta and Bimila, they were nice to all of the kids.
I learned lots of things from being there. It's good to have a Mum. I learned that I like to be part of a family. I learned that the orphanage kids are the same as me. They study hard, so they can have a better life when they grow up. I understand their lives are better than they were before, but they still don't have much.
I hope the kids will eat better food and that they will be warm in winter time, even though the building is cement and there are no heaters or warm blankets. I really hope they get better smelling bathrooms that don't make you feel sick when you smell them.
We have talked about different ways we can help the kids when we get home. It is good to have been here, so now we know what is needed. Being warm and having nutritious food and people that love you is very important. Owning lots of things are a privilege.

Taiga, some smart guy once worked out what the 5 key things most us humans need in life; i wonder if you can fig out what some of them are.. you mention one or two in this blog..
ReplyDeleteHi Taiga, Wow , By reading your comments I am sure that you have grown up so much since you left just a little while ago!I think that you have made a good decision in leaving the orphange, since you could not trust the two men and they made you feel uncomfortable in the way they treated the children. You are so lucky that you are a part of a very special family! oxoxox
ReplyDeleteHey Taiga, your time at the orphanage was very educational. You seem to have made so many very important discoveries. The children, as you said were just like children from all over the world, trying hard to make the best of what they have. We all tend to take what we have for granted. You will definitely be a better person for all of the experiences that you have had. Love to you, mummy and Cody.
