Our first package of foreign supplies arrived over the weekend from a good friend of the orphanage in America. We received several story books for early English learners, coloring books, pencils, crayons, and a puzzle game which the kids mastered in under an hour. The children were so grateful for the gifts they asked when they can say hello and thank you to the generous donor of said gifts on Skype, something completely unknown and unimaginable to them 2 weeks ago. The are quickly learning the wonderful benefits of having proper facilities, a wealth of people who care for them, and the exciting new possibilities those two things can open for them. Never would they have thought about video chatting with some person halfway around the world from Nepal, but now, after the interest they have shown, perhaps we will be able to start a Skype pen pal program with other children around the world sooner than we could have hoped. The possibilities are exciting to us too.
