Orphanage Visits

The Lotus Healing Seva Youth Group started the New Year by going to a place which housed two orphanages: Morning Stars Orphanage and Sunshine Orphanage in Kiambu donate foodstuff, to play with the children there, and to give them Reiki Healing. Here are their stories.

Viddhi Patel, 9yrs (Reiki Level 2)

I had taken 5 loaves of ‘Hot Loaf’ bread for the orphans. I felt nice throughout the time I was shown around the orphanage by two of the orphans whose names were Jane and Margaret.

We saw the rabbits, the cow, and the dog, the hall where they ate their meals and the kitchen.

The children played a game ‘I sent a letter to my father …..’. their reaction was very nice and beautiful.

I gave them Reiki Healing as they sat at a table. It was very nice for them and for me as well.

We went on Sunday 9th to Kiambu to an orphanage called Sunshine Orphange. When we reached there the orphan children welcomed us by singing a song.

After that we gave them the stuff we had bought for them. I had taken bread, butter and flour for them.

When I saw how they were staying, I thought that we should go again and give them some more food, clothes etc.

On Sunday January 9th, we went to and orphanage called Sunshine Home. I donated biscuits and milk. They welcomed us nicely.

I felt their life was hard.

We gave all the kids Reiki and blessed them.

They sang a song for us and when we were leaving they told us to come again.

I enjoyed very much when we went to morning Stars Orphanage on 9th January. I took 24 kgs of maizemeal for them.

When I reached there, I felt so sorry for them because they have no parents. What I liked about them is the way they all came out to greet everyone (the Lotus Healing Seva Youth Group).

They told me their names, there were so many, I have forgotten their all their names, but I didn’t forget their faces.

They took me all over the orphanage, to the farms, wells, sheds, etc.

When they were all playing the game ‘I sent a letter to my father …’, I also felt like playing with them.

When I gave them Reiki healing, they also started praying. Lastly, they all said they felt very good.

I had a lot of fun during the trip to the orphanage; spending time with the children was a very nice experience. I noticed that there was not one of them wasn’t smiling!

During the trip each one of us had to pick a partner, I didn’t know who to pick but a young girl who was about five years old grabbed my hand and started showing me around. Her name was Sarah and she was such a sweet girl!

I thought the place was quite nice, they all had their own beds and they all had many friends. They all ate together and did almost everything together. It was like one very big family! Which I thought was very nice!

The girls and boys slept in different places. There were about three rooms that I remember for the girls, they were all of different sizes. There was one big room where most of the girls slept, there was one other room for the small children and another for the high school girls who only came for a while and went back to school. They had a lot rabbits that were very cute and a few boys were the ones who train and breed them. They had one big dining room with a painting at the end saying ‘Morning Stars’.

I gave them a couple of clothes and a lot of green gram.

When they finished showing us around there we showed them a game and left them to play it. they were having so much fun and all of them were enjoying themselves.

We gave Reiki healing to the children. They took a lot of healing. I was happy to give them Reiki because they are such nice children and I know they need it. I would love to visit them again soon.

On 9th January, the Lotus Healing Seva Youth Group went to the Morning Stars Orphanage.

We left at about 9 o’clock in the morning so that we could reach there on time.

I took some clothes and 50 kg of rice.

Once there, we gave our donations and got a partner from the orphanage to show us their place. We were taken to the girls and boys rooms, the dining area, their farm and the best part was when they showed us their really huge rabbits!

After looking around the place, we played ‘I Sent a Letter’ with the children over there, and it was really fun to watch them play it. After that, the youth group, along with Kamal aunty, and some of the members from the adult group joined in on giving healing to the kids in the orphanage, the whole orphanage and to the animals and the people who run the orphanage as well.

It felt really nice to go to the orphanage and see the lives these kids live, as I take it to be a constant reminder to appreciate and accept what I have from my heart, and this lets me know that life is not always easy.

It was a really fun experience, and I hope that we will get another chance to do something like this again.
