On June 29 we departed our hotel for a late afternoon at the Rumah Ozanam orphanage in KL. This orphanage is a home for students who have lost their parents and who are being raised by other family members who can't afford to raise the students themselves. The students in this home attend school, church and community events. We played a variety of ice-break games with the 17 boys and girls of the orphanage. (Musical chairs got a bit competitive!) We then were able to eat a meal together before saying our goodbyes. Denver Academy presented them with gifts for their kitchen. This was a powerful day, as we were able to meet other students from around the world and see how they live.

After our visit, we explored KL more as we toured around the city and saw the Petronas tours, went to Decathalon (a large sporting goods store) Central Market and Chinatown. Students enjoyed bartering and experiencing the sights and sounds of KL.
