Chapter 7
This facility was called the Sunlight Orphanage. There were a lot of children inside, and the place was filled with their voices. The children cried, fought, and made up as they chattered. There was an incredible amount of energy that could be felt within the orphanage. Most of them were orphans without any parents, but this was why the teachers worked hard to make their lives better. This was why the children were all happy here. However, there were also children that made trouble for others. They got into accidents. Children will be children.
However, the orphanage was much more raucous than usual that day. Normally, children and teachers were the only ones residing within. There were unfamiliar people mixed in with them.
A woman moved forward. She was an old lady, who was past her middle age. The old lady greeted the group.
It was said that one’s genes determined how one looked when one was young. But when one became old, it was said that one’s face was determined by the deeds accomplished in one’s lifetime. If the saying was true, then she must have lived a virtuous life. She was old enough that half her hair had turned white. But anyone that looked at her face would unconsciously put their guard down. She looked like someone of high morals. She had a warm smile that made one think of your own grandma, who would always welcome you back home. She had that look.
She was the director of the orphanage. She had been a person of character since she was young. She ran a child care center that reared homeless children into fine adults. She was a woman respected by everyone.
“Hello!”
She was a woman of such stature, yet she personally greeted everyone.
There were 23 people in the group. They all looked to be in their early to mid 20s. There were 19 men and 4 women. They were a mixed sex group that were part of a volunteer club from the nearby university.
This group came twice a month to volunteer, so the director was happy as she welcomed them.
