Love and Affection

I actually don't think I need to say anymore, the title together with the photograph speaks volumes, but I do want to add more because I want you to fully appreciate the the love and affection that the little boy sharing his drink (Chung) has for all the other children. I apologise to Chung in advance because I don't think I can emphasise enough the warmth and care this little boy has and gives everybody around him.

Chung an orphan is autistic, he has nobody except the nanny at the Pagoda allocated to look after him. Other then what Chung wears and holds at any given time he has nothing and these are therefore his only possessions and yet today when Chung was given a carton of drink and a packet of biscuits his first reaction was not to go and hide or sit in a quiet corner away from everybody to eat and drink these things himself instead he chose to surround himself around the other little toddlers and babies and made sure that he shared what he had. To say that it was the most heart warming and generous action I have seen for a long, long time would be an understatement.

Witnessing something like this just puts everything into perspective and reminds me more then ever that the materials things are not what we need and material things are not what provides happiness, it is the kindness of our hearts that makes all of the difference in the world and most importantly to peoples lives whther they are our loved ones, friends or simply strangers.
