The power of imagination

Imagination is a very powerful skill.  Some people have it more than others, but everyone possess this skill somewhere inside of them.  The kids at the orphanage contain this skill unlike anyone else.  They all have their own world's specific to them.  No words can be used to describe their world's because they are so complex.  When you see the children playing with sticks you wonder if there is a castle and they are battling over who gets the gold.  I find it so intriguing that a person's imagination can take you places and show you things you thought unimaginable.   Everyday I see the kids I'm inspired again and again because they don't let anything get them down.
The two best parts of the day are arriving and leaving because these moment's surround you with happiness.  When you arrive at the orphanage the kids appear one by one.  When they come out one by one you have time to give a proper hello.  I enjoy this because you can strengthen your bond with that one person.  My other favorite part of the day is leaving and not because of the goodbyes, but because of the hugs.  Today when we left Heang came up to me and gave me a huge hug. When you hug the kids you feel as if your life is complete.  Each hug is strong and full of love so you never want to let go.  You also feel the positive attitude and wild imaginations bouncing off of the kids.  With only a few days left I want to make an impact on our lives that will never be forgotten.
