It is spring in Korea, and summer is probably just a week or two away.  It makes me think about when I'm planning to leave.  My contract finishes at the end of August.  That's more than 4 months from now, but of course will come much faster than I expect. Anyway, it brings up an important issue regarding the orphanage.  Those kids are used to seeing me on a regular basis over the past two years, and soon enough, I won't be coming around at all.  So I am starting to think about how I can make my exit without causing a lot of trauma.  There isn't a lot of consistency in their lives, and the mere fact thay live at an orphanage means that some deal with abandonment issues, so it is no simple matter to extract myself from their lives and...

The Korean school year starts at the beginning of March. Consequently, there is some shuffling that will take place all over the orphanage. Two boys and one girl will move up from the pre-school room to the elementary house. Two 6th grade boys will move up to the middle school/high school floor. And I'm sure that some older kids who just graduated will be off to college/military service or some may be moving away. Unfortunately, this is all going to happen when I'm in Taiwan. It will be interesting to see how the dynamics change among the elementary boys. The two new 1st graders are pretty tough, no-nonsense kind of kids. The 2 boys who are just one year older than them are not nearly as rugged. They aren't bigger. They've... Show more
