Young Canadians aware of impact they had on orphans
Prom Page l
The young
Canadians were
very aware of the
positive impact they
had by the happiness
that surrounded
them. The smiling
faces of the
orphaned children
put smiles right back
on the faces of f the
I(i gsbridge Youth.
"The : children at
the orphanage were
really happy about
what we did," said
Van Gsch. "They got
so excited : about . the
painted rooms and
they bad a lot of fun
playing la ' with us in
their spare time. It
seemed liked they
really appreciated
what we did a lot
more than some
people here would.
The orphanage
buildings - were
donated 20 years
ago and were in
need of a lot of work.
and it's something
the youth was
y P
able to do.
"The kids didn't
really understand
what was going on,
but they were so
happy when they
saw the different
colours on the wall
and the kids were so
excited when they
saw water coming
out of the sinks. It
made . a really dull
and dreary .place a
really nice place to
live, for the kids,"
said youth leader,
Jen Miltenburg.
One of : the things
that gave the the
youth group a little
more global per-
spective on the
world ishow dan-
gerous parts of some
countries can be. It
makes : one appreci-
ate the safety :they
enjoy y in communi-
ties such as
Lucknow.
The youth group
req a police
escort to the
Evangelical church
�r::S
when they went to
help give food to
'needy children. The
church was located
near the sometimes
dangerous suburbs
of San Jose.
"It gives you a
greater understand-
ing on how strong
people can be, like
the orphans andthe
kids who live there
in general.. There
were grown men
there, like the bu's
driver who didn't
want to stay in the
area because it was.
that dangerous. For
us it was okiy
because we were
with the police,"
said Conor
Niltenburg.
The youth didfind
time to have some
fun of their own as
they went white
water rafting and
took a ride on a zip
line.
Leaving, . howev-
er, was probably the

"I wasn't sure

Goderich was sup-

was absolutely over-
