HOA Christmas/New Years

Happy New Years! Today I rang in the new year by celebrating with the kids from my orphanage. The kids dressed in their best and the older girls took the liberty of putting makeup on all the younger girls. The festivities started with gifts at the orphanage. Then 47 of us piled into 3 tuk tuks (which should typically seat 4 people each) and headed to KFC. The kids loved the chicken -- and the pop.After lunch we headed to the mall across the street. For most of the kids it was their first time in a mall and their first time riding an escalator. It was sooo funny watching them. They were scared at first but then they enjoyed riding up... but some were really scared going down. While in the mall the kids got to go in the mini arcade for a few minutes too, which they loved.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this day possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
