Just across the street, the black fencing that surrounds the blue building seems to divide it from the rest of the world. Thoughts of entering such a protected place were brushed off my mind. It was the Blue Cross Thong Kheng Home, an institution for mentally disabled individuals. My sweaty palms and expressionless face fully showed my uneasiness. The building looked foreign yet familiar. But the moment I stepped into the building, all of my uneasiness vanished. The heavy and tensed atmosphere was replaced by warmth from these "big" children. They are actually just like you and me. All they need is just a little more patience and time to learn. Although we faced problems in conversing, they showed their appreciation through the simplest yet most heartwarming way. That is either giving a big hug or showing a wide smile on their faces.
