A day with the daffodils
Compassites launched the first COACH program last week. COACH stands for Compassites On A Cause for Help and is a program aimed at stretching our hands to help the deprived in the society. Last weekend the navigators at Compassites visited an orphanage named Karuna mother’s home. The orphanage is run by Mrs. Roopini Chandra who takes care of 45 abandoned children. I became very emotional when I heard that some of these children had been dropped off by their own parents just after few days of their birth.
The daffodils were bright and beautiful and welcomed us as their own brothers and sisters. I had the pleasure of teaching them how to make a paper cap. I was happy that my Origami hobby came into use finally. The amount of happiness and smile that brought these children when they completed the paper cap along with me was a feeling of immense satisfaction that no money or fame can bring. We spent the day with them, having lunch together and projecting “Tom & Jerry - The Movie” and “Hanuman” movie. Emotionally we bid farewell and wished them for a bright and prosperous future.
