After almost a year of raising funds and awareness in support of Our Home Orphanage and in Kerala South India, I was able to finally help in person. Last week I traveled personally to meet the children and offer my services as a volunteer.
Our Home Charitable Trust also runs The Good Shepard Primary School for more than 350 underprivileged children. I was able to finally see the school, meet the students and even teach some classes!
I came armed with presents, games and art supplies to give to the children whom graciously received them.
If you are a teacher in Jeju island you will be happy to know the children received the donated school supplies and pen pal letters created by our students in Korea. You may recall that I mailed 70 pounds of donated school supplies and letters to Our Home, which were received here in Kerala in time for Christmas. The children of Our Home were so excited to have personalized letters and were compelled to write back. Although there are only about 30 responses some students in Korea will receive a reply!!
Leading the Little Big Help Project has inspired me to continue to educate others by means of awareness and in aiding under privileged children in need anyway that I can personally. The experience has had an everlasting impact on my life; I have learned so much and am truly humbled by these amazing children and their innate survival skills.
Being able to witness, first hand, the challenges faced by underprivileged children in India has been both eye opening as well as an inspiration for future work towards helping those in need.
Thanks again to those whom contributed to this project!!
