The Boarding School Orphanage

The school also takes care of about thirty boys who are orphans or semi-orphans. What is a semi- orphan? Well one of the children asked me if I knew his mother as she worked in London. Apparently he has no other family to care for him and his mother has found work in London. She cannot afford to come home to visit him.

 Rice for dinner!

The boys were just breaking from their studies- this is where they do their homework. They love football and cricket and could tell us all about what was happening in the English premiere league. They are looked after by only two people, so were desperate to talk and have some attention. We found them to be much more mature and very loving and caring towards each other.
We did wonder if there was a school for orphan girls somewhere.
