Sneha Infant Home Visit

The Dare2Dream group visited the Sneha Infant Home to interact with the orphans living in the house. These children are children who had been abandoned by their parents so this in itself is an issue of global importance. We brought in toys and bubble blowers for the kids to play with along with a canvas where the kids to place their hand prints in and write down their dream or what they want to be when they grow up. Overall it was touching experience and what saddened me was they were so excited to see us and have someone to play with but it didn't last. This was a new challenge as I was not particularly good at interacting with younger children as I can't stand my infant cousins when I babysit them and I had even told the leader of this group that. In the end I decided to give it a go and it turned out that these children were very well behaved, patient and obedient. This was a surprise because normally one would think that children who were abandoned would have a negative view of the world but these children were so eager to try out new things and play with us and made me like interacting with children a little more from this experience.
