Here we gave the kids stuffed teddy bears. When we entered into the hall where the kids where they greeted us with a small song and sat in a circle. One by one very shyly they come to get one teddy bear.
I am happy that me and Dilawar donated the stuffed teddy bears in Pakistan. These kids don't even have pencils or uniforms. Dilawar and me have seen what the kids need in this institution and will try to fulfil their needs by giving them pencils, colouring books, school bags and maybe try to find any sponsor for uniforms.
If any of you have colouring books or pencils you don't use and would like to donate this to the orphan institute in Lahore then contact me on 101-dm@hotmail.nl. Thank you.

After we visited the institution we went to see the walled city Lahore.
We went trough a gate to see the old city.
The first thing we noticed when we entered is the big garden and the big gate that leads to the mosque.
The name of this mosque is Badshahi Masjid. The mosque was build in 1673 by the Mughal emperor.
I have never seen such a huge mosque, it has beauty and grace.
When we took our shoes off we went in the mosque and it provides such beautiful views over Lahore over viewing the Minar-E.
After viewing the mosque we went to see the Sheesh Mahal (Palace of mirrors).
The palace gained its name because of the Favourite hall of the kings, this hall is made of white marble and decorated in mirror work of the finest quality. This palace has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981. The palace is build in 1631-1632.
Its a very beautiful palace I mostly liked to see that they already did water engineering in the 16th century.
In the palace there where holes underneath the palace where the water comes out and leads to a fountain.
It is a beautiful experience to see the palace.
after our trip to Lahore we went to eat.
I have bought one sandwich, here the sandwiches are double deckers (two sandwiches on top of each other).
I did like the sandwich and we eat halwa (Pakistani sweet).
When we come home we where so tired we went straight to bed to sleep.
