It is great to know that Jarilyn Wilson is helping for several months. It is a good experience for her and for the kids also. I know she has gained more from this than anything else she could do. Thank you for sharing with us. Jarilyn's grandmother, Jarie Potts It is refreshing to hear that this is such a well-run orphanage!!!

It was a great trip, we definitely learned a lot: that even though this orphanage did have some nice amenities, there is still great need out there; that with the right people and the right mind-set, anything is possible. As we discussed, I was impressed that an orphanage of that size runs so smoothly and with so much care. Looking forward to making another trip soon. Dominic, great write-up.

The orphanage needs money to continue its program and to build a new home for arriving infants among other upcoming projects. The rest of my stay was spent with the kids - things like playing basketball, hockey, swinging them around, or trying to get them used to my Uruguayan-Gringo Spanish accent.... Hey Juan,

It is an amazing experience to share moments with the kids, and at the end of the day it's easier to want another day with them. Or more. I know what you mean Josh.

So... what were the needs? What did you end up doing there for the rest of your stay? It’s great to hear that some organizations have managed to provide such a solid environment for this kids.

I just wanted to bring them all back with me so I could protect them... in a way it haunts me. one of the most memorable days in my 9 months through Southeast Asia was a day spent playing soccer and climbing trees with Cambodian Orphans.
