What would you need to make our solution possible? By Amanda

To help these orphans, you'd need a few things...



  • A place for the home to be. Someone would have to pay rent, and keep it sanitary and organized.


  • Food for the children, volunteers, and guests to eat. You'd need to hire a cook, though one might volunteer, and someone would have to pay for the expense of food.


  • Furniture to use. You'd need school furniture like desks and chairs, and also household things like beds and tables.


  • Some extra places for the guests to stay, and some accommodations such as a shower and bathroom.


  • Volunteers or workers to teach the kids, feed them, run the part with the guests, and someone that will be there all the time as someone for the children to go to if they have any problems, to keep the kids in order, and to make sure that they're happy. That person can also take care of any younger children.


This many sound like a lot of things to do, and like it would cost a lot of money. But, in the long run, a lot of the money and work needed could be provided by from people staying there, volunteers, and other people donating money to the home. And, here are somethings that the children themselves could get out of from staying in the home:



  • Shelter


  • Food


  • Education


  • Friends to be with


  • Some adults to look up to, even if they're different every day


  • Adults to care for them, and love them like their own


  • Lots of people to go to if they need anything


  • A good idea of what the world is like from seeing and talking to the tourists that stay there


  • The above gives them some good reasons incentives to live life to the maximum


All of the orphans would get a lot out of this, but what about the tourists staying there. Here are some things they'd get out of it, too.



  • They'd get a new idea of the world around them


  • They'd be shown how the simplest things in life can go a long way


  • They'd learn to be thankful for the small things


  • They'd learn different stories of kids that struggled on their own


  • They'd be shown, first-hand the damage done from AIDS


  • They'd have a lifetime of memories, humblings, and friends


I think that this cuold easily happen, if people cared enough. It would help both the kids and tourists, and wouldn't take too much money. Everyone just have to think that they can make a difference.

  1. I like your list. When you read about all the things the AIDs orphan's need, you realize you need all those things to. We are all just kids, but we can make a difference for the AIDs orphans if we all believe we can.
