Teaching at Sun Child Orphanage

These are our kids. The girls dorm, kitchen and dining room are in this building. 
 
 
 
These kids are great.  They are so talented and eager to learn.  Our classes are from 10:00am to 11:00am and 11:30am to 12:30pm four days a week.  We usually arrive by 9:30am to set up the classroom and get our materials ready. The kids are usually already there waiting for us to arrive, prepared and excited to learn English.  They stay late and ask for help individually.  It's a great way to start the day! Starting this month we will be teaching each class twice a week!
 
Every morning they get a slice of bread with or without sugar and a cup of tea.  Every day for lunch they get a bowl of soup with either rice or noodles, grisly mutton and potatoes, maybe carrots when in season.  We have not seen what they eat for dinner. 
 
Anyway, we love it here and we love the people. Even in such poor circumstances every home we enter we are offered food, hot water or hot watered down milk.  It is very humbling and we count our blessings every day.
 
We are so very thankful for the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and the Church to help us apply His teachings to love thy neighbor, wherever they are.

This building is used for dress rehearsals/performances, the art room and sewing room.
 


 
This is the rehearsal/performance room. They cover the mirrors when they are doing a performance.
 
The second floor has an art room and a sewing room where all of their costumes are made.



This building includes the dance/contortionist training area and the computer room on the main floor.


 The second floor incudes the instrument class rooms and our English class room.

 
Our little classroom is on the second floor of this building. We have four classes with 9 to 11 students in each class.
