S.O.S ORPHANAGE

S.O.S ORPHANAGE is really fun. Mr. Nimal De Silva and Mrs. Huijnen are very lenient and they let us do whatever we want. They dont force us to play with the kids nor do they force us run around everywhere to help the children enjoy.

S.O.S ORPHANAGE

In my new semester, I got S.O.S orphanage as my community and service activity. In this activity, children from orphanage come to school to play with us. We talk and present countries to them and then after that, we got to the swimming pool to play with them. It is really fun to get to know each other and we learn new things about countries too. In the pool, we have fun playing with them by throwing polo balls at each other or giving them a ride on the boogie boards. It is fun because we also get to play with our friends and at the same time, play with the children. We make friends with many and get to see their fun side in the pool.

I was with Sasha as my partner and we got to meet Ashaan and Sabunika. They were really nice and they also loved playing with us. Ashaan always threw the balls at my head and it hurt. I also presented India to them and had to make the powerpoint in 2 minutes because I didn't read my email about if I am presenting. I also got to give drinks to the kids after the swimming lessons and it was nice how they said thank you to me. It was fun hitting my friends but sometimes I would miss and hit an orphan. I laughed when they would look around confused about who hit them.
