My Visit to the Orphanage: (From the archives)
On 9th January, the Lotus Healing Seva Youth Group went to the Morning Stars Orphanage.
We left at about 9 o’clock in the morning so that we could reach there on time.
I took some clothes and 50 kg of rice.
Once there, we gave our donations and got a partner from the orphanage to show us their place. We were taken to the girls and boys rooms, the dining area, their farm and the best part was when they showed us their really huge rabbits!
After looking around the place, we played ‘I Sent a Letter’ with the children over there, and it was really fun to watch them play it. After that, the youth group, along with Kamal aunty, and some of the members from the adult group joined in on giving healing to the kids in the orphanage, the whole orphanage and to the animals and the people who run the orphanage as well.
It felt really nice to go to the orphanage and see the lives these kids live, as I take it to be a constant reminder to appreciate and accept what I have from my heart, and this lets me know that life is not always easy.
It was a really fun experience, and I hope that we will get another chance to do something like this again.
