My name is Cathy and I am eighteen years old. Last summer I went to Cambodia to do some volunteer work. I volunteered in an orphanage with about 100 children. I worked with the twenty-five babies and the younger children.
I loved working in the baby rooms of the orphanage. At first, it was really hard to see so many babies without a home. But after some time, I loved the babies like they were my own.
The younger children were adorable. They all just wanted our attention and love. I became extremely attached to a nine-year-old girl. The first day I met her, she seemed very sad, and didn't play with the other children. By the end of my time there she was laughing and smiling.
During my time at the orphanage I fed babies and played with them and loved every minute of the time I was there.
