The staff hesitated for a while.
At that moment, the other visitors also said, "Sister, take us to see the children! They might welcour presence! We want to help them, too. They surely won't hate us." "Alright! I'll take you to see them." The nun took them to a building behind the church.
Once they were near, they could hear the voices of little girls playing.

"The children have to go down the hill on their own to get to school every day?" Avery asked.
"Yes. We would take turns sending them down, but they need to hike up and down the hill. They have it tougher than the kids who live down the hill. It's winter now, and they have to get up before the sun rises to go down the hill," the nun explained.
Avery had only hiked up the hill and already she found it a little tiring. She found it hard to imagine that the children had to do it every day.
"Why doesn't the church have the children of schooling age stay at the orphanage down the hill?" "The orphanage can't accept that many children at once. Furthermore, the children are used to staying in the church. They're not willing to leave this place," the nun explained. "Previously, a visitor had wanted to adopt a child from us. The child did not want to, so we won't didn't force her to leave." Avery was touched. "It must be because you sisters have treated these children extremely well and that is why they are reluctant to leave this place." While chatting, they arrived at the children's lodging and play area.
There were about more than a dozen children playing under the supervision of the staff. Swere playing games, swere playing with toys, and others were lying on the ground, looking at the ants between the bricks.
A visitor that was with them immediately walked over to a girl.
"You must be Rose, right? You're adorable and brave! I've brought you a toy...' Avery looked at Rose, and she was stunned.

"Sister, does Rose have albinism?" Avery immediately asked.
There was indeed no effective cure for albinism. The care for albino patients is also very important. A little carelessness can cause major problems for the patient.
"Sister, can I take her down the hill to vebn the hospital and have a look at her? Even if I can't cure her sickness, I will try my best to keep her healthy. I will hire someone to look after her so that she might have a proper education. There are so many people coming to see her right now because of her sickness, don't think it's a good thing." Avery wanted this child to have a better environment. She wanted this child to have a normal life.
The nun felt a little conflicted. "Many want to adopt her because of her rare disease." "Sister, I understand your concerns. I will talk to Rose. If she is willing to lethelp her, I'll take her away. If not, I won't force her to come." The nun said, "Other than Rose's agreement, we have to get our Abbess's permission. But let's see whether you get Rose's agreement first! Rose might not want to leave with you." A cool breeze blew by, and the leaves fell with the wind.
A little girl stood by the door outside. She stared into the room with huge, dark eyes. Inside the room was her good friend Rose, and with her, was a woman, gently talking to her.
