The Greatest Joy In My Life Are These Kids.........

Just some of the many pictures I have of these adorable kids!!!!! I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions or want to see more pictures or know of someone that wants to volunteer just ask me. 

As you will see in most of these pictures the kids are genuinely happy but on rare occasions I caught them when they were having a moment. When you see of hear a child cry your first instinct to to run to them or hold them. But sometime I couldn't always do this for the child because there weren't enough volunteers to take care of all the kids. We had two volunteers to about 14 kids so it was hard. It for sure wasn't the easiest thing I have even done but the most rewarding and I would do it again if it weren't so expensive!

So here is a post of the kids I got to spend the past three months loving. They may be just pictures to you but to me they are miracles and the cutest kids ever. I recently found out that two of the orphanages are losing government funding and the "parents" can't afford to feed the kids so they might get shipped off to another city. I am very saddened by this. We as volunteers needed to raise $1,000 in 24 hours within 5 we had raised all of that plus more. The way this was possible was because of the amazing volunteer that choose to spend three months of their lives in the service of others! Since being home I have been job hunting with no luck yet. It has been pretty frustrating because I am so used to having a shift to do with these amazing kids. I really feel worthless I know I have a lot to offer but I don't know what to do with it.
