Finally, we were able to go to the orphanage, meet the kids, and find out what type of projects they had for us. There are currently 70 kids there, and about 2/3 of them are girls and they don't have any kids under the age of 5. I was kind of disappointed to hear that, because last time, I spent most of my time in the room that had 5 kids, ages 10 months to 5. We found out that they needed a little bit of help building parts of a fence and that they had 2 rooms that needed to be painted.

When we were there in the morning, there were only a handful of kids, because the rest were at school. We didn't have any of the supplies to work on the projects, so we just got to know the few kids that were there.

During this time, Megan had her first fantabulous and strengthening experience. She surpassed it with flying colors even if she had some hesitations at first.

In the afternoon, more kids were there, yet I totally felt lathargic. I decided that I will not take a nap during lunch time again because I am here to be used and I refuse not to get everything I can out of the experience. During this time, I watched some of the boys play baseball.

Here's a picture of their baseball field that they titled "Field of Dreams":






Overall, I felt completely worthless because there wasn't that much to do, and I ended the day being completely disappointed in myself.
