The first month I was here, I went to a place called Misundu park. Whilst I was sunbathing and reading my book, I noticed a group of children all in matching tshirts and a man. I asked him where they were from and he explained to me that it was an orphange and they take the children out for day trips. I asked if I could get involved, so I spoke with the main carer who invited me to visit them sometime.

I went to visit them and was amazed at what I saw. I had never been inside an orphange before so didn’t know what to really expect, but it was so much nicer than I thought it would be. The children were so happy and given so much love.

I’d asked them to all write down what they would like for Christmas. Most asked for clothes or shoes. People donated me money from the UK and I was able to buy all the children what they had asked for plus a little more. The children were so grateful and happy with the gifts! I had such an amazing time with them and it really made my Christmas!

The mothers and the manger treat me so well and take care of me when I am there. I feel like a princess and can feel the love around the home. I am also makimg some great freinds with the mothers. I am so grateful to have found the orphanage! My Zambian family!
