Service Project -

For my service opportunity, I was able to go to Myanmar. After the 36 hour trip, I was able to go around the country and help out at orphanages. The kids there were super sweet and they loved to be with you. When we would get out of the car, we would be swarmed by all the kids trying to hold your hands, touch your hair, or carry your bag. We were able to hang out with the kids and to play games and do crafts with them. It was interesting to see the kinds of traditions that they have and to see how their culture is a mix of India, China, and Vietnam. The food is mostly Chinese and Vietnamese. However, many Indian themes, like their writing, look Indian. The people there are so warm and friendly. They work hard for the little that they have and they seem very content with what they have. They never seemed to feel sorry for themselves and always had a smile on their faces.
