Visits to the orphanage and “Operation Banana” have continued and are going well. Today when I distributed the fruit at the slum, everyone was so grateful and kindly thanked me with big smiles and handshakes.
After distributing the bananas, I came across a cute group of young kids. Since I was out of fruit, I decided to open a pack of gum and share it. BIG MISTAKE! The kids completely mauled me, and even drew some blood on my hands because they pinched and clawed so hard over one another to get a piece. It was a miserable experience and a good learning experience. Lesson learned = Bananas GOOD, Sweets BAD. But how can I be upset at children who are so desperate to get a little piece of gum?
