"The kids need love and affection so much, and it is so easy for us to help them and give to them. My experience at Caasah had a highly positive impact. I played, walked, read, changed diapers, fed babies and disciplined the kids. The most important project that i developed was the book and the schedule and the posters of the kids. I suggest future volunteers don't take the kids too seriously, they don't have families and it takes them a long time to trust. Keep trying."
