Took Nathan to a Christmas party for an orphanage, Agathian's Shelter here in KL. There are 30 boys in all- living between 2 houses. I was recently involved in organizing a silent auction for them that raised almost RM41,000 for them. They are still in need of funds to begin a renovation on a home where all the boys can live together rather than 2 separate homes. The house they're in now consisted of 4 rooms, one for the boys, one open cement floor room to play in (with nothing in it but a small tv), a kitchen and an office (for volunteer staff)- all total a little larger than my living room. The boys were so thrilled with the attention- we did crafts with them-and in the bottom photo, they built a ginger bread house. I'm sure most of them had never done anything like it before.
