    Oswald & Teresa,

    You are the real unsung heroes of the society that is why I wanted a mention here. You two make for one of the 11, ten more deserve the credit.

    I will contact DW to lend me your contact ID if you permit them to do so. I'll be privileged to be in touch.

    I thank the organizers for this event that brought a smile on the faces of these deprived ones.

    This is the reality of life - we don't understand how lucky we are to be raised by our own family. I pray that these children find a home or get adequate education to shape a future.

    Daiji, no mention of the orphanage or a contact person if we want to visit these little angels. Any leads ?
