Jana at King’s Children Home

Found in the capital city of Belmopan, King’s Children Home (KCH) is a place where children can find refuge. Children who are victims of abuse, neglected, or orphaned are placed in the Home. I had the opprotunity to play with/look after the children of the Home. I got to change dippers, make bottles, and help with homework. During a typical day, when I arrived in the morning, it was time to walk the children that were in the primary grades to school. After returning to the Home, the toddlers and perschoolers were waiting to play. I would be with them all day until the school children would return home in the early afternoon. It was then homework time. I would work with mainly the primary grade children. It was a nice trip down memory lane in most of the subjects. Some days instead of doing homework I would read books to the children that did not have homework. They would bring me book after book to read. It brought great joy to my heart to bring these ever familar stories to life. As of today there are 42 children residing in the Home, raging in ages from 4 months to 18 years. The children were like any other children that I have delt with; they were curious, wanting love, and full of energy.
