Orphanage#1 visit - today!

Today, Jan 7th at lunch(around 11pmEST of the 6th) we are visiting Hospicio de San Jose to drop off a box of items for the children. We are also feeding them lunch.

The orphanage is 200 years old! There are 100+ regular kids and 42 special needs children. But since some are in school, there are only around 100 children present. So, we ordered food from Jollibee(a local fast-food chain). Our contact at the orphanage suggested that we feed them rice and NOT spaghetti! Apparently, around Christmas time, they were fed a lot of Spaghetti :) So, they are getting Burger steak with rice! We also bought some drinks to bring as well as chocolate bars for dessert! :)

The goal today, aside from the feeding and delivery of items is to mingle with the kids, see how the orphanage is run and have a chat with the director.

Wish us luck!!

*Tomorrow's agenda: Visit the 2nd orphanage to drop off all the gifts for each of the 31children.
