adin5 - making a difference

5th of May 2009 was a groundbreaking (and probably a very scary) day for Adin van Ryneveld. It was Day One of a 5 years long project, doing something nobody has ever done before (to our knowledge).

Sitting on my backpack in the Rourkela railway station at ten o'clock p.m., I am waiting with my group of four other volunteers for our train. We hover around our amassed baggage, far more than the five of us need because many of the bags contain art supplies, games and treats for the children at the Miracle Foundation orphanage in Choudwar we are on our way to spend a week with.
