Roslin Orphanage Blog

Good evening to All,

I just finished discussing with my wife Peggy on the phone.  An idea just pop out and we are incline to do it gradually. As we are having continues water which flowing at our farm , we are planning to shift the older orphans to live at the farm instead of at the current orphanage. We are planning to send them to the school near by the farm and still within walking distance . So much positive things can be done but there is a down side that the student will not be getting education as good as now . The current school are nearer the city and the teacher is better in term of their availability and their knowledge about teaching the subject. No more great library for them except books in our mobile library.

A simple but healthy shelter can be build but they will be some distance away from the orphanage . Control will be lagging but their initiative can be grown better .

We are planning to give them assignment for each of them with a plot of land individually so that they can do things according what they like and good at. If each of them is assigned some 2000 M2 , after school they can spend their time planting veggies or even doing fish farming. We will support them with their education needs but they can get extra funding from the land that we assigned to each one of them. The land is there and the water is available for it. An effort must be and can be shown.

Each of them can show us about what they can do individually and how they can divide their time wisely so that the schooling and the farming are good ( or the other way around ). It is possible that their needs can be funded by the assignment if they are really putting the efforts into it.

Peggy and I are still thinking about it .

Any idea ? please let us know .
