When I first arrived at this institution, unlike the quiet and spacious settings typical of most organizations where I expected cute children playing around, I was surprised to find it nestled between other buildings in downtown Bangkok. It made me wonder if this place was indeed the volunteer center I was looking for. However, upon entering the building, I was pleasantly surprised by the cozy gardens and classrooms filled with children's laughter. I was taken aback by how warmly the children greeted new volunteers, smiling brightly and eagerly waving their hands. Seeing them, I felt that if I stayed and worked with these children, I would receive a lifetime's love. I recommend it to those tired of formal relationships as they age, those who feel they haven't received warm love from parents or friends since childhood, those who want to change their increasingly rough selves, and everyone who wants to rediscover their pure childhood self. |
