My placement

---

So finally I got to go to my placement yesterday which I will be doing social work , teaching , n medical work . So to get there I have to take a bus 30 min then walk another 20 min so it's pretty far from town n the buses we take here r like bigger band that they use to put in 30 people so u will always have smone at ur lap haha . Anyways the orphanage is a big house with about 4 rooms to fit 30 kids n a washroom n kitchen n backyard with a tiny swing . They had a stove n a big table for kids to eat at . When I was there only the babies were there cuz the rest were in school , n that is 10 babies for 2 workers so it was really hard to keep up with all . The first room I went in was the babies room n there was one little one he jus stuck out his hands n wanted me to pick him up it was sooo cute n he jus hung on me sooo tight it was soooo cute n heart breaking cuz u can see all jus wanted love from someone n the workers love them jus not enough workers for all , the youngest was 4 months n he was sick , it was really hard to see and heart breaaking to kno someone wud leave their 4 month year old. I feed a couple n they were very happy n taught me some slang , then also went over some numbers with the other older ones n there is one he is mentally challenged n due to shortage of staff no one can help him out , it was reallly hard to see . The kids have nothing there so am very glad I fundraised in Canada to get them clothes , the food , n so far with the supplies I bought I can send them to school , Also their uniforms n get them some medical supplies because they have nothing n the kids r very sick . It's really heart breaking . Unfortunately I cudnt stay longer there for the visit so I had to leave n the little baby boy I was holding would not let go , I had to throw him in his bed n go n he was balling I wanted to cry it was really hard gota say . All in all it was really different to be there n very emtional to just see all these kids with no parents n such need for love , very heartbreaking . It was really different from everything I have seen n very hard to take in . We will c wut happens with them n wit improvments to be ..........,,. Cya next time , lots of love from arusha Tanzania 😊
