Orphanage Visit 2009

On 22/11/2009, a dreary rainy morning, 2 members of the MCSC committee embarked on a little trip to an orphanage located in Volzhski. The purpose of this visit was to deliver the donations collected from the kind students of our university to the needy children. Most of the donated items were clothes, and there were also a few backpacks.

The journey to the orphanage took around 40 minutes or so via mashrut. And an extra 10 minutes because we lost our way for a bit (it was out first time going via mashrut after all).

Without further ado, I present - the orphanage

The orphanage was located in the middle of a few apartment buildings. Which kind of explains why it was so hard to find. It was called "Dom Miloserdiya" in Russian. Which roughly translates to "House of Solace".

Upon arrival, we quickly unloaded the stuff from the mashrut and carried them into the mashrut. I can't exactly put into words how much stuff we had collected, and thus:


The curators of the orphanage were more than happy to receive us. They even called the children out from the rooms where they had been either having classes or Sunday school to come greet us, look at the things we brought, and take photos with us!

They were all smiles, thanks to everyone who donated.

Photo credits go to our president Chai Chan Sin and a shoutout of thanks to all who donated, and those who helped in one way or other!
