Our orphanage can be a place for the children to grow and it can be a place for the villagers to have some lessons as well ( like the work shop that we just did recently with the {{popup SINGAPOREANUNISTUDENTS.jpg SINGAPOREANUNISTUDENTS 454×305}}Singaporean university students). So many things can be done at the orphanage.
People are coming not just to visit the children but also using the premises to conduct some new skill training , {{popup cookinglessonsbytheneighbors.jpg cookinglessonsbytheneighbors 629×392}}cooking, my wife (Peggy) teaches how to make imitation (plastic) {{popup flowerarrangement.jpg flowerarrangement 343×334}}flower arrangement , cleaning and to learn how to deal with the small children which Ice breaker is the key to start dealing with the children and we must go down to their eye level . By doing so we can easily start the interaction with the children.
A simple {{popup simplebalooncanmakehapiness.jpg simplebalooncanmakehapiness 352×237}}baloon can be a great tool to educate them, a lot of fun can be generated from so many simple things as long as our method is excepted by the children.
We did an scene which single out honesty and at the end of the sesson we found out that it can be planted in their mind easily but we must constantly remind them about it for a period of time.To teach them about sanitation is very important as important as how to conserve the limited water supply in this part of the world.
