If you can't feed a hundred people!

'If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.' -Mother Theresa
I love this quote, it's so simple and pure. It inspires me and give me an encouragement in the small things I do for the Babies Home in Thailand.

When I visited the Phayathai Babies Home last year, I decided to carry on giving my profit contribution for this place. I can see that they are truly in need of help and donations. It is great to be able to go back this February for a visit again.

*This is the building for the toddlers group aged 1-2 years old.

I spent the morning playing with some orphans in one of the toddlers' rooms. They are about 1 and a half to almost two years old. Most of them cannot talk yet and have a slower development than average children. They ran to me and my friend wanting to be cuddled. We sat and played with them. Most of the children would cling to us for hugs or just love to sit on our lap all the time. We were asked to help feeding lunch to them as they cannot feed themselves yet and there are not enough staff to feed all the children in that room so any volunteers are greatly welcomed.

*The orphans spent their morning here and we also helped feeding them lunch here. Their cots are in the opposite room.

We left when it was their nap time and it was a sad parting, taking them back to their cots and waved goodbye. I can never forget those innocent sad eyes, their little hands that touch your face and their sweet heads resting on my shoulders. One of the boys held on so tight and would not let go when he knew I was leaving.

"The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread."Mother Theresa

*Filling in documents for the donations!

I am so happy to see some more new playground toys for the orphans compared to last year.

*This year!

*Last year!

Many thanks and a heart-felt appreciation to all of my customers whose purchases contributed towards the donation. A special thank you to Claire of LolaBosco.etsy.com who kindly sent a generous donation to support the orphanage's work.

I hope to be able to continue doing this either in a small way as spending time there and help or make a donation yearly to support the orphanage from my profits. I also hope to include some other orphanages in my contribution next year.

Thank you all, I could not have done it without you!
