Show of gratitude and love (A visit to two orphanages)

We were happy we reached places, we got more excited showing love. We were glad we meet this awesome people, our friends, the leaders of tomorrow.

I am glad I wanted this to happen, deep down and I met with people who felt the same way, had the same heart and work towards making this a reality.

It all started like a joke, me wounding things, thoughts, bending my hopes and wounds into actions.
It depended on what I wanted as a person, what I wanted deep down.

I just wanted to help the community.
Love was the goal.
I could have called the whole world to this but I knew how messed up mass publicity would be. I never wanted the public stunt.
The fun, one I wanted to be emotional.
I wanted something juicy enough, more than fun, but not we making fun of time.

I envisioned a better me, us, team, them.

Will this start when planned.

All hopes lost and the initial idea got defeated.

The program to host the charity outreach got postponed to April.

But no, I still wanted us to give to the less and help those who really needed this help.

A few call to few folks and I was grateful all the five people I called gave positive feedback, they poured in the money according to their purse even in a very short time.
I respect your benevolence and up most support.

A week ahead, we began to print out customized shirt and things got messed up.
The one week we had got reduced to 5days.

My phone on heat, as I tried to hurry the tailor.

Finally on the last day.

We got hit by fuel scarcity.

Stayed over 3 hours in the queue, after we had scarified all our sleep to right planning.

Our cloths were on the way and the journey took 5 hours instead of 4.

We got the cloths far past midday and we were left with picking the purchased item.

It was damn stressful, but we pushed. It was damn boring at a point when we got tired of the wait for things totally out of our control to treat us right and honour us this day.

But the smile on those kids face when we hit the orphanages brought smile to my heart, I guess my friends, mate and all that came with the team felt it.
It took away the fact that we got stressed for this.
We played and talked, hosted and we all ate together, sharing those snacks with them was just awesome.

But I tell you, it was worth it. Putting a smile on their face was worth it, the extra bills was worth it, having to gather the team together was worth it, and the fact that we have this behind us to keep in mind and reserve a space to help out the community and show support to those who have less is nothing but joy.

They showed us love, we shared emotion and we came in place of the family they always had, we could have stayed forever with them because the love held us spell bond.
And we found it hard moving out great away after a good bye.
