In the morning, we went to Victoria Memorial. The building was beautiful but it's strange to see a western style building in India. Collections of art and picture were great and comprehensive. After this museum, we went to the St. Paul Church next to it. But it was closed at lunch time. So we'd better went to the centre we registered for volunteering. The centre is specialised for severe handicapped children. We helped the staff to do laundry, and feeding the children who even have no ability to eat by themselves. We didn't help much, since we only came for few hours a day and we don't have any medical skill to take care of the children. The kids also have no or little communication skill. Of course, we did reduce some of the workload of the staff so they had more time to take care of the children. I think doing volunteering should be well prepared and need to devote a long period rather than a few days like me.
