A Visit to the Babussalam Orphanage

Saw the Babussalam Orphanage for myself finally. We had the privilege of viewing the girls dormitory, which is usually out of bounds to outsiders, esp guys. There were really no workers around and work was incomplete. The structures needed doors and locks, fans, windows, tiles and paint. The girls are shy and staying inside this building, with wooden partitions as rooms.

Didn't visit the 2nd floor, but does this building look like it has a roof?!? I am glad we made a decision during the trip to raise some funds for them. They are just short of $20K to completion. Hopefully we can raise enough awareness on their plight...
I started getting friends to raise donations for the completion of the girls' wing about a month ago. Its called "Do you have an hour for Babussalam?" For more details email me see_meng@yahoo.com.
