Faraja has been inquiring into orphans and orphanages.
Her central idea is “Where We Live Shapes Our Identity”
She will be answering the following questions:
- What are the reasons that children enter orphanages?
- What are the challenges faced by orphans and orphanages?
- What is our responsibility towards orphans and orphanages?
Final Reflections
I felt excited because I worked hard and thought of many things to do. I felt a little bit nervous because I don’t like talking much in front of an audience. The most enjoyable thing was going to the orphanage and playing with the babies. The most challenging part was working at home by myself. I wouldn’t choose to do something else if I could go back in time because I knew what I wanted to do. I learned that I can do hard things even if I’m scared of it. I enjoyed the whole PYPX because it is fun and not that hard work as you think. I was glad not standing in front of an audience but I liked presenting in front of a screen. I feel happy and relaxed now!
