The FETCH Initiative Charity drive at the Government Orphanage Home, Ikot Ekpene: Why we were all almost in tears (Pt1).

While at the Government orphanage home, Ikot Ekpene Akwa Ibom State for my first Charity visit for 2018 with the FETCH initiative, I was really emotional and so also was the team. Seeing the pictures we didn't expect to see, brought tears to our eyes.

Who wouldn't be?, after seeing those children living like they were not fit to take part in the goodies of society. Practically living away and differently from society; the pain in their eyes will gnaw at your heart.

Hive account@alisonudeme was the first person to break down and I can only imagine how she felt after seeing those children most of whom are sick, deformed and living like... they don't matter?

The orphanage is like a prison for little children and it is a shame to see these children subjected to such living status and treatment.
I stayed outside the whole time because I was sad and also visibly upset with the system that keeps getting worse.

I am sure we Steemians will do better if given the same chance as the government have.

We left the orphanage with heavy hearts as what we had experienced was just to much to hold.

Can you believe they have no fans, television nor music player to entertain them? Really unfair.
@Annieben had to play some music from her phone and the children, awesome children had awesome time dancing to the tune.

It is moments like these that helps me see through the colors of the day and to appreciate how wonderfully blessed I am to be on this platform.

This is part 1 of the 2 part video we did with the team saying how they felt.

How would you feel???
