Many people sit at home and watch the evening news. On the news they will sometimes cover a story on starving children or abandon children. How many of us watch that and think I want to make their lives better? Not very many. Well one night watching the news Budi Soehardi thought that very thing. Soehardi is a 54-year-old Indonesian pilot living in Singapore along with his wife. His wife Peggy also felt the need to help these children. Peggy started asking Budi to build rooms for these lost children. At first it was just a few rooms, after awhile that turned into many rooms, which turned into an orphanage. In April of 2002 the Roslin Orphanage opened. The Roslin Orphanage is helping children that have no food, shelter, or parents. Budi and Peggy sometimes have to name the children due to their mothers abandoning them at birth. Roslin Orphanages provides children with living space, health needs, food, and clothing. Rosalin has helped many children of all ages and from all backgrounds of life. The orphanage holds a total of 47 children now when it only started out at four children. I feel that this is very important and more people should consider helping.
