Orphanages

The past 2 days we have been very busy with nonstop helping. In these 2 day we have traveled to 4 orphanages other than CPO to deliver supplies. It has been tiring but rewarding to be able to help in so many ways.

Yesterday morning we went to CPO which is where we spend the majority of our time. At CPO i have a boyfriend named Hoon. Hoon is 16 and I love him so much. We dance together whenever the orphanage has its dance parties. He's an incredible dancer, with moves the world has not seen before. Hoon doesn't know he's my boyfriend but i tell everyone anyways. I dread the day i have to leave him and will miss him terribly. It isn't just Hoon who can dance, everyone at the orphanage can dance like nobodies business. I love how all of their little faces light up when they hear the music playing. I always have one of their songs stuck in my head. Sreyneath seemed very down during yesterday's dance party, so i kept asking her what was wrong. She never answered me but i could tell by the look on her face that she was upset. Sreyneath as well as some of the other orphans go to school in the afternoon. She was about to leave for school, when she gave me the biggest hug and stared bawling. I hugged he once more and said goodbye. Watching her walk to school with tears in her eyes was one of the worst moments. I hope to bring back her beautiful smile when i see her tomorrow.

After leaving CPO early yesterday we headed over to CHA where last year's trip volunteered their time. CHA was very run down. It once had 75 happy loving kid, now it is only left with about 20 sad and hungry kids. The director told us the kids had been eating regularly but we all could tell the haven't been as they scarfed down the left over bars we had in our bags. Today we went to 3 different orphanages to give them supplies. There is always a great feeling of accomplishment after leaving an orphanage with everyone of their happy faces running after our tuk tuk.

Yesterday we also went into the slums which was one of the hardest this i have ever experienced. Seeing this made me appreciate everything i have. My sunglasses covered up the fact that i had tears in my eyes. I couldn't believe that people were living like that.

That is all for now! Thanks for all the support!!! love and miss you all!! <3
