The students really enjoyed spending time with the children. Some of the infants were severely disabled. The State-run orphanage is run by private donors. Some of the children receive surgeries to correct their ailments before they are adopted. Others might have a short time on earth due to their disabilities. One organization affiliated with the orphanage is called "The Chinese Daughters Foundation." Our students showed their true colors by playing with the children, helping them exercise, and making them happy. We donated several bags of items that we thought the children could use (i.e. lotions, towels, shampoo, sponges, etc.). It was a great day.
