Craft Day at Virginia Home

On Wednesday we did crafts with the kids.  I took the items with me so the kids could make coasters and then I will put them in my online store to sell.  The money that I make from the coasters will be given back to the orphanage to help pay for food and electricity. 


All the kids are so proud of their coasters even the older boys.  They took a long time and were very specific about how they were making them. 

These kids at the Virginia Home are all so unique.  They take so much pride in their schoolwork and where they live.  We took a tour of their dorms and every room is very neat and well kept.  Every evening at 5:00, they sweep all the dirt floors and pick up all the trash around the buildings and yards.  They all get up at 5:45 am to do chores and then they have tea for breakfast.  During class, the teachers will address them with ,"Good Morning students" and they all respond in unison, "Good Morning teacher."  It is so sweet!  Don't get me wrong, they are kids and they get wild and argue with one another but all in all they are really good kids.
