LOVE 4 THE CHILDREN

A trip to an orphanage is not just a visit but a meeting that changes hearts. It reminds us that true strength is not found in loud words, but in simple gestures: a smile, an attentive look, a shared game.
When we go to visit the children, they greet us with shining eyes and a special desire to communicate.
And it is a wonderful feeling to know there is a place where you are needed and awaited, where you can be useful to someone.

During the games, songs, and conversations about God you understand especially clearly: children need not only care and gifts, but also spiritual support, words that bring hope and strengthen the heart. During our recent trip I had a unique opportunity to talk with a boy named Sasha. He is very different from the other children, according to him, he comes to us not for games, but for conversation and learning about God. While other children enjoy singing and playing, that’s not what draws Sasha. What he truly loves are the Bible stories and the conversations.

Over the past two weeks the children and I have gone through a journey full of discoveries and meaningful conversations. We talked about friendship, about how it is a precious gift that requires care, honesty, and time. We learned to see in each other not just roommates or classmates, but those who can become true support.And perhaps most importantly – we saw that God does not leave us when things get difficult. He is near when we are angry. He helps us forgive. He teaches us to love.

The moment of departure is always the hardest, when you walk out of the building and see the children waving at you or sometimes even knocking on the window. It touches the heart deeply and at the same time fills you with joy in anticipation of the next meeting. Hope remains in their eyes and in our hearts – gratitude for being able to share a piece of warmth with them. For me, each trip is a reminder: true value is not found in things, but in being present, in words of support and in shared moments of joy.
