Life always has its ups and downs, today was an up day because I got to educate the children. To me that is amazing because I was able to share my knowledge with others. While I was at the school I tutored five kids about ch, sh, and th. They absorbed everything I said like a sponge. By the end of the session they understood everything. It's spectacular how these kids don't see school as an obstacle but as an opportunity. If everyone was able to see through these kids eyes, they would think twice about school and the opportunities they have. We have everything we could possibly want in life and take it for granted. These children struggle through everyday and make the most of what they have.
The next part of the day consisted of games and gardening. When you look at a garden and think about how easy it would be to build one, well its not. In order to transform the land into a garden you must plow the grass, rake the soil, plant seeds and be able to grow and maintain the plants. The garden will supply you with food and nutrition. In the end it will be worth all the hard work.
I also learned a new game where you have five rocks. You throw them on the ground and pick one up. Next, you toss it into the air and try to pick up as many of the other rocks as possible. You have to do this until you have collected all the rocks. You have to catch the rock you tossed up into the air or else you lose. Even though this game is so simple it can keep you occupied for hours. When you look around the orphanage and see no frowns and all smiles, it gives you inspiration and passion to keep that smile going no matter what it takes.
