Day 2 Asansol .. part 2 – to the orphanage

Oppss … this picture was supposed to be posted in the part where we stopped for tea on the way to Asansol …. you can see how “clean” the kitchen is … ;)
After we have rested for a while after breakfast, we walked over to the orphanage….. consciously staying clear of the cow dung all over the road.
The orphanage is about 10 minutes walk.

The kids performed a few songs for us … and all of them are very talented.
Me the photographer for the trip :) and my friend as the camera man

Praying fervently
Managed to hang out with the kids after the performance …. they are so innocent. Most of them are unwanted kids and some are just picked up from the streets so that they can have shelter,food and a place to call home. Makes me thank God and appreciate the fact that I have a family and a place to call home.

  1. the pics really tell a story all by themselves. look at the kids. they look vulnerable n yet very street smart. i would have loved to be able to join a mission like this

  2. Welcome bcak to Malaysia! Those little children look smart and cheerful. Did they speak English with you or just body language?

  3. The subjects in the photos are great with the kids’ expressions. You looked more innocent than those kids lah. LOL

  4. That’s a meaningful event that i would loved to join too! Is that in India?
