On Saturday, March 26, we went to the Beauty from Ashes orphanage with our language teacher. The children there have all been abandoned by their parents. The children do not go to school during the week so Bebe (our language teacher) does all of their schooling on Saturday. We were able to help the children with reading, math, and Eric was able to give them a little information about the states. After school was done Eric played a game with the ones that are physically able to play games. The game was very similar to Duck Duck Goose. The children loved it. Then of course they all wanted to play basketball with Eric. The rim was like most rims in the Philippines very short. Tara watched with Bebe, the children who were unable to play, and the only girl there. When we left all the children were asking us when we would come back. Bebe informed us that they talked about the rest of the day. We had a lot of fun playing with them.
