Our Adopted Orphanage

Head, Shoulders, Knees, & Toes!

The Middle School Community Service Club along with a couple of high school volunteers arrived at Thatanar Rakhita Orphanage in Yangon, equipped with activities and games ranging from badmintin to necklace making to arts and crafts. We were also very fortunate be accompanied by a Burmese, English Doctor who gave the kids a check-up and offered medicated soap to treat the ever persistent ring worm that most of the kids have had for years. It was a great joining of efforts to help both the physical and emotional well being of the kids.

Each time we go, we try to think of more ways that we can help. For example, as they enjoy the necklace making so much, we're thinking about helping them make and sell necklaces and bracelets and by doing so we hope that this could be one of the ways that they can begin to sustain themselves. With every visit we make we learn more about them and friendships begin to grow. And the gift they give us in return is surely the smiles on

their faces. We hope to continue making regular visits to our adopted ophanage, and if you'd like to join us, feel free to stop by our meetings every Monday afternoon from 3-4.

Hope to see you there!

The MS Community Service Club
