A bus will send them into the school compound. Theynwill arrive after the school has assembled and I remember they don't normally join the rest of the school in the compound. Instead all of them would go to their classes immediately. One of them was a boy with polio and, as prefect, I would walk him up the stairs to 2nd storey.<br /><br />This was my first encounter with children who are diadvantaged and it left a lasting impression on me. Even as I went to secondary school, whenever the Green Bus passes the orphanage, I never fail to look at it, wondering what it is like to be in there. The lawn is always well manicured and the building is your typical 1960s design.Tarraleahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641622228058289985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291749928176751452.post-4901751511315149662012-01-28T23:08:43.028+08:002012-01-28T23:08:43.028+08:00Hi D.

I'll never forget, that's my first school n it was a great n fun school :) However we never got the chance to befriend the orphans cos they were in a different wing I think. Lowy may remember more. I think she used to seek them out to give them her sandwiches.Dnoreply@blogger.com
