The Orchid Garden


Today Hailey and I went to my placement. The Orchid Garden Pre-School. There were about 200 children ranging in age from 20 months to 11 years. The majority of them were very young. They were orphans or children with parents who are laborers.  The children were loads of fun to spend time with and there English is surprisingly good.

We took a local bus – they can squeeze about 35 people onto a bus about the size of a large minivan. I have heard that as a female foreigner we have to be careful as some women get groped on the bus. That would be an amazing accomplishment to be able to squeeze your hand anywhere between the mass of bodies and/or manage to stay standing without holding on with both hands. I was impressed that I managed not to fall off the bus and that I didn't get lost anywhere.
