Day 5: PIO, CCH, and SFODA

     Seeing it was Saturday, we were able to sleep in, and left the tattoo guest house at 10:00. We started out by going to an orphanage called PIO. On the way there, all we could see was mountains of trash, where we could see the tops, but could not see where it ended, and wooden shacks everywhere. All of them made out of plywood and fabric. We came to the gates of the orphanage we were immediately greeted.  We spent a lot of time there making puzzles, playing duck-duck-goose, soccer, and origami (which was very cool for me to learn). Before we left, they showed us some amazing dancing, and then soon after we joined them! It was a complete blast dancing with these kids. I knew they liked "On the Floor" by Jenifer Lopez. Right when we were about to leave the kids came up to us and said, "Sister, see you tomorrow? See you soon!" It was so difficult to tell them that we would not be coming back. We started to head back the way we came.

     A couple minutes later, we arrived at the girl's part of CCH. We played monkey in the middle and man were they good! I played basketball with some other girls, and they were creaming me! It was all fun, but then we left again to see the boy's section of CCH. When we arrived, there were only a few boys at the time, but we got to see the boy's rooms,and their school which was right next to it. Both were very nice facilities. I really liked CCH.

     SFODA was our last stop, and when we got there, nobody was there to receive the supplies. They had taken the kids out for a 2 day field trip. Maybe some other time. The whole day was amazing filled with amazing people and kids. I really enjoyed myself. All these kids have a special place in my heart that no other person could replace. I love them all.
