Missionaries of Charities Orphanage

Later on that day afternoon, Constance and Sherry went to the Bizarre to buy gifts for the orphans at Missionaries of Charity, which we had visited the day before to get an understanding of what their needs were and what we could do to help. Because there were older girls at the orphanage, we decided to purchase them some nail polish and for the younger girls we purchased Barbie dolls. We also bought towels and cookies for the orphanage. The girls were so sweet, they actually painted my nails instead of letting me paint theirs. The orphanage cares for disabled, blind children as well as women. The facility was very clean and the sisters were pretty nice except the head sister was rushing us out of the facility faster than we would have liked, but overall it was a good visit. The girls even sang to us before we left. It was so sweet, I almost cried.
