Clothing and Orphanage
A Visit to the Orphanage Essay

It was a beautiful morning, Molly and I were attending our usual meeting of the Charity Club. As the active member of the club, we were given a higher rank as special committee in the club. Apart from that, the Club had organized a visit to the Joy Orphanage. It may not be the best for a monthly trip, but still, we volunteered to join the trip as all of us loved doing charity work.
The main reason for our visit was to make the orphanage a better place for kids to live in. Our activity would be painting the walls of the orphanage, cleaning up the place and entertaining the kids there. We were anxious about the trip and as the day was around the corner, we had everything well prepared.
On the day of the trip, we wore our best club t-shirts and gathered in front of the school gate. We brought tins of paint, rollers and brushes. Not to mention gifts and clothes for them! Fully prepared like soldiers, we ‘marched’ into the bus and took a ride which was a stone’s throw away to the orphanage. When we reached the place, we saw kids running and playing in the compound. Some were a little glum, maybe feeling down in the dumps being an orphan.
As we approached them, the kids which were as young as 7 years old, surrounded us like a pack of wolves. However, they were not savages like wolves. These cute angels were staring at us with awe. For once we felt like important guests of the orphanage. Firstly, we gave all of them presents and things donated by the kind-hearted. Then, we began to chat with them, learning their painful history and cheering them up. They felt as happy as larks with us around.

    Orphans are classified as children without parents. This was not the case in this era. Courts took children from poor parents, parents who were neglecting formal education, not teaching trade, were idle, dissolute, unchristian, unfit or incapable. Orphanages were misnamed because of this. These institutes weren’t just for children without parents; only ten to twenty percent of the children were actual orphans.…

    After introducing myself to all the girls, the 12 girls dragged me to their room with so much excitement. Walking into their room, I had to stop and take a deep breath. I knew the orphanage wouldn't have much, but I never imagined how little they really had. Their room looked like it belonged to an old abandoned house. The ceiling caved in; it smelled of an old dusty attic and had nothing in it but 12 beds, 3 dressers and a couple dirty stuffed animals just lying around. Some girls had pictures of when they were babies, some didn't have anything. I stood there silent. Tears balanced on my eyelids because at that moment, I realized that I have been so ungrateful for what I have, while other young, beautiful girls around the world have nothing but a bed and a stuffed animal. I think about all my clothes, shoes, friends and family that…

    I set up an appointment with the Kids Club daycare at 9:45 am on November 4th to observe for an hour of toddler classroom who were between three and four years old. The principle gave me a warm greeting and took me to the class and introduced me to the teachers and the children. Everyone there made me feel welcomed. I chose a place where I can sit, observe and write my note as well as to be away from children's sight. In the classroom there were five boys, two girls, and two teachers Ms. Nadia and Ms. Emma. The classroom itself was large and spacious. The classroom is very appropriate for children this age and it has many interesting areas such as a blocks and art area, and children taped some of their previous work in the art area. The color of the class is bright and has interesting posters like calendars with the name of children’s birthdays. Also. There is a toys area that has toys suitable for both boys and girls like cars, animals, and doll. There is a reading area with a little amount of children’s books and stories in reachable…
