(Friday) Spent the morning with the charity NOAH. & it was soooo good!! Such an amazing & worthwhile charity. Theres around 100 Arks (as they're named) looking after approx 200,000 children who have been orphaned through AIDs, or who are vulnerable. They provide pre-school facilities and then an after school club too.
I went to one Ark, and met the children who were sooooo happy & smiley it was unbelievable. These are children who have very little or nothing in the world & they are the happiest children I've ever met! They sang us songs & danced which was really cute & funny to see (:
We then went onto a second Ark just to look around at a smaller site. This one was self-funding, so had a bakery oven to provide bread & scones to the local community! It was really good to see. The Arks also have their own vegetable patches to teach the children about the importance of food, and to grow their own things!
I then got to go back to the first place & spend playtime with the Kids. It was brilliant. They all wanted to touch me & hug me & hold my hand & play with me!! It was so lovely. They were very sweet & happy. They all wanted to play with me so we got to do skipping, the limbo & Whats the Time Mr Lion which was really funny listening to them all laugh & squeal!
Such a fantastic & amazing experience! So very lucky to have had the opportunity to spend some time with them in this way. I couldn't have asked for anything better!
