Step 1: Organization (Update)

June 27th, 2015 at 09:13 am

It has been a tiring Saturday so far. I visited a children's orphanage this morning with my sister to drop off some used clothes, toys such as barbie dolls and a few other things like school supplies, etc. I didn't get to meet all of the kids since they have an activity on the other room but i got to see a few 5- or 6-year old boys and girls running around the place. While there, i was able to chat with the social worker for a while and she said that they are now taking care of 49 kids - some were dropped off by their mothers who could no longer take care of them (so are not technically orphans) while some were found on the streets, hungry and alone.

I was deeply moved by the social worker's obvious love for her job and the kids and I have decided to volunteer every other Saturday morning to tutor the kids, feed them breakfast, play with the toddlers, etc., Any way I can help and give back. Well, as I cannot offer money to donate, my time is the only other precious thing that I can offer at the moment.

    Are you in Manilla? Is there a web address to make donations to? Thank you for sharing the gift of your time (sometimes that is much more personal that treasure or talent to share!) Every little bit does help. Bless you!

    Thank you, I'm so grateful that you are willing to donate time and effort to help feed the children breakfast and play with the toddlers. There is so much research that explains that children need to feel the attention of adults that care about them to become caring adults in the future.. Your gift of time is extremely important.

    How are you doing with your de-clutter project?
