Today I went on a weekend day trip with many of the orphan girls who live at the Trust. We drove about an hour to the Indian Ocean. The girls who were over the age of nine wore their long blue-flowered night dresses in the water. Their dresses reached almost to the floor and covered their shoulders. We were the only people on the beach. The girls swam in the water, played in the sand and walked along the beach. A man came by on an ice cream bike truck and the girls got vanilla ice cream pops. After a few hours the house mother got out three large containers of food for lunch. Each girl got out her own plate. The women served spiced rice, a hard-boiled egg and a little spicy humus to each girl. The bus stopped on the way back and each girl got a small soda. The soda came in small glass bottles with a blue or red thin straw. The choice was between Sprite and Orange Miranda.
