On Friday, we spent the better part of our day at the orphanage. It was one of the best days! After watching them drum and dance for a while, we played outside. The children were excited because they knew we had come to paint with them. They saw all the supplies in our bags when we got to the house (they also saw the lollipops...).
After we played for a while, we got set up in one of the classrooms and brought the children in two at a time (so we could have a little one on one time with each of them) and painted. The many little artists chose their own shapes and colors to paint with. The little ones sat on our laps as we guided their tiny hands and taught them how to use the brushes.
It was an amazing day and brought lots of smiles to their faces and to ours. Incredible what a little paint can do!
