The orfanage

when I went to costa rica for a camp we visited an orfanage. it was a really big place with a huge park and many kids. every kid there had a different backround, a different story... for example i met this kid who was taken away from his parents because they were drug dealers and also his brother. his brother had been killed when he was about 6 in a gang. this kid would be sent by his parents to take the drug to other dealers. he got shot on the knee when he was about 8... this was really impressing for me because when you see the movies you just say uuu or laugh, but when you hear it coming from a person who really got shot and their life story you start to think: im lucky that i didnt have to pass through that.
