As Brooke Randolph once said “children without families are the most vulnerable people in the world.” As children of Weenoble International School we want to say no to that because that is not meant to be like that, one does not have to be vulnerable because circumstances made it that way, the world is meant to be a balanced and just place.
The school took a bus to the Ighalo orphanage Home and the students were excited to be visiting a motherless babies home but when we got there, we were filled with sad emotions because we saw kids that could grow up to be high standard citizens of Nigeria and children who are meant to be leaders of tomorrow but their lives are hanging on a life line and those who are deformed and cannot move around. Unlike us who are privileged to have loving parents, friends and teachers these children do not have anyone apart from their carers who might be too busy and exhausted.
Although we went with gifts, we didn’t feel like the gifts were enough to fill the void in the hearts of these children. I mean, Imagine not having a dad or mom to talk to or to tell how you feel when you are sad or even ask for things? After we were done with the tour, we thanked those who took care of the children and encouraged them to always give them their support.
