Sharing the love.

This morning Shannon and I made our way to Camillian Home Orphanage to share some love and smiles...this wonderful place cares for orphans living with HIV/AIDS and disabilities. We were greeted with a quick tour of the facility and then off to playtime with some amazing kiddos. Here I spent some time playing with a 15 year old kid, Pan. We couldn't talk to each but we could play together. Then, before I knew it it was lunchtime....a pizza party. Right before lunch, an adorable child nick-named, Rat, played a few songs on his guitar. After lunch, it was busier than an airport with all the paper planes we were flying in the air. Zoom Zoom. This 3 year old cutie-pie to the left, Mos, was all over it...his giggles were loud and genuine...it was great. Here is their website, if you want to learn more about this fabulous place. www.camillianhomelatkrabang.org/
After the orphanage, Shannon and I headed to Chinatown for some Chinese New Year Celebrations. 2010 is the year of the Tiger...which is a sign of courage and bravery. So if you were born in 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, or 1998 this is your Chinese Zodiac animal. My Chinese Zodiac sign is the Horse...people born in the year of the Horse believe that their aim in life is "to seek individual freedom and happiness." Yeah? I dig. Anyways, we set out on foot and walked around aimlessly for a while taking in the sights, sounds, and smells. Oh, what a good day...good day indeed!



Happy Valentine's Day ♥
