The last day I was at the orphanage I took the little ones to church. Its a christian orphanage so they go to church every weekend. There church is 5 min walking distance in there school auditorium. You would think the kids would be restless and bored, but there were very attentive and look forward to going to church every weekend.
After church was over I gathered the children in the playroom to distribute all tey toys, gifts, and clothing I received from the fundraiser. With the help of the manager Martha, we called each individual child at a time to give them there surprising treat. They were all delighted with there pressies. It was like Christmas for them.
Then it was time to say goodbye 🙁
Overall my stay at the orphanage was life changing. I didn’t want to leave the children. I love and adore them all very much. Im already planning my next visit very soon.
Mission in Action orphanage is an organization founded by a lovely couple – Mary and Ivan Budilica, who sold there house in Australia to build this orphanage from the ground up. They rely on funds from others for there existence. They sincerely appreciate any help that they can get.
There biggest need is obviously money, but spending time with the children at the orphanage is a price less experience for the children. They are filled with so much joy. They love visitors and volunteers, and to have some one extra to play with or help them with there homework is exciting and comforting for them.
A wonderful way to support this orphanage is by exploring there website – www.missioninaction.org- and sponsoring a child. Each child has 4 sponsors which pays for everything they need each month. Its a great way to build a relationship with the children there. The orphanage chooses a child for you, however most pple like to visit the orphanage first. Naturally you will bond with other infants over others. You then can sponsor which child you are led too.
I honestly wanted to sponsor every child when I was there. When you go to visit and see the needs of the orphanage, you cant help but want to sponsor a child.. or two.
