New Addition

When we arrived at the orphanage we noticed some blankets on the floor and upon closer inspection saw that there was a baby wrapped up in them! He was so quiet and hardly moved... some of us thought that he was one of those life like dolls. He is 10 months old in Korean Age so he is barely a month old. His name is Park Samwol.

This trip started out just like all the others did.... waiting for the children to come back from church. It seemed to take a little longer than usual. 10 of us went and luckily 2 people had cars so we drove there which made it a lot easier than calling taxis. Someone had dropped off a box of snacks and school supplies to the kids so first thing they did when they got back was chow down on the treats^^ Before we left, we gave the kids some of the stuffed animals and snacks that some of the volunteers had brought for them. They loved everything; especially their mom. After the kids were ready to go we made our way to the park. We did have one casuality on the way... Daniel was running, tripped over a curb, and went face first into the cement. Good thing he is a young, resilient kid cause he just jumped up and continued running instead of crying. He did get a HUGE lump on his head though. It looks nasty! At the park some of the kids started playing soccer and others threw a frisbee around for a bit. After a while, the kids' teachers came and joined us for a bit. I thought that the one was a classmate of some of the girls. She just looked soooo young. At around 330 the teachers started dragging the kids back to their house so that they could begin studying. I feel really bad that they had to go study especially after all the candy and running around that they did.
