LIFE OF ORPHANS

"Childhood is the most beautiful period of our journey here on Earth because it is the time when we get to know many things and experiences that contribute and influence our way to maturity.

Yet, I don't know if someone can imagine what is there in an orphan's soul, a child who has always wanted to know his own family, to spend at least a day with his loved ones. How happy must a child be when his mother hugs him, when he comes back from school and lays his head in his mother lap forgetting about all problems...but will I ever experience that feeling?

Why some parents leave their children in an orphanage?

Why do they just forsake us here and mind their own lives on separate ways? I wonder, will some day our ways cross, if so, what will they have to say?

To be an orphan is not something to be ashamed of, it is just a misfortune that some of us have, it is the fact that our way in life is sprinkled with more obstacles but we have to be optimistic and believe that the sun will shine bright for us as well and somewhere, sometime, a family will open their arms for us."

There is a huge difference between knowing the meaning of the word "orphan" and being in that position every single moment of your life. You might as well ask: "A lifetime of being an orphan, isn't that pushed a bit too far? I mean, even if you have parents, you will eventually lose them sooner or later!"

All of us agree that growing children need strong, interactive relationships with responsible adults. Besides giving emotional and physical security, such ties help the child grow and learn to cope with an ever-changing world. In most societies, the child's parents are considered the optimal social arrangement for childcare and mothers are expected to play the central role.

Ways to help Orphans:

• Provide proper meals, education and clothes to them
• Make a general donation to families saving orphans
• Sacrifice one or more things in your life and donate what you save to help an orphan. Even one rupee can make a difference in the life of an orphan.
• Ask for donations from other
• Sell unwanted household items on eBay and donate the proceeds
• Consider adopting a child
• Encourage your school to conduct a "Rupee for Orphans" project where each child is invited to bring in Re 1 to help an orphan
• Dedicate a percentage of the profits of your business each month to Families for Orphans
• Try to spend a day in a week with them

Mother Teresa - A source of Inspiration

The life and works of Mother Teresa has always been a source of inspiration to us. Giving one’s entire life in the service of less fortunate ones and seeing the face of Jesus in them was her vocation.
