Charity Home Visit

Last Saturday morning, we had a charity home visit. Different groups were assigned to different areas. Some were assigned to visit the old folks and some were assigned to orphanage. My group and another group were assigned to visit the orphanage at Ti-Ratana. We went there at 9am by bus. Basically, we were supposed to entertain the children there. We organized games for them to play, performed on stage for them like singing and dancing, taught them origami, gave them sweets and talked to them. Children today are different from children in the past. When my friend Agnes and I distributed bars of chocolates to some of the children around us, it was like a typhoon coming towards us. Not only that, they didn't want to share. As in, we asked them to share a bar with one or two other children and guess what? They cried and screamed "I don't want to share!". In the end, we had to keep the chocolates first to prevent them from fighting and crying among themselves. Some children (5 or 6 years old) even knew about love. Lol When I was at that age, it was those days when I bullied guys in tuition. Haha!! Anyway, they asked us questions like "Is he/she your husband/wife?" Then if we tell them no, they would grab and force people to hold each other's hands. Some were very nasty. They would ask you to put your hand on the paper and without telling you, they would lastic your hand. Some would get angry and hide behind the pillars when we didn't want to give them the chocolates yet. lol But some were really nice children. Out of all the children, there was this boy (2 years old) who was very cute. Many people took turn to carry him because he was just too cute. His parents left him there with his older sister (4 years old) due to marriage dispute. He didn't look happy but we still kept carrying him. haha We went back at around 1pm. It was a fun but tiring day.

Yes, just look at his face. I think he was mad as people kept carrying him and taking his picture. Haha Basically, during some of the weekends, we will sacrifice our time to do charity home visits. We will also be visiting the Hospital Umum Kuala Lumpur to visit the children cancer wards. Different groups will be assigned to different wards. We are supposed to learn how to talk to parents who have children who are going to die, how to deal with the children there who are going through hair loss and chemotherapy etc. Most importantly, try to make the children happy.
