Friends, all my friends, was there ever a moment in you childhood where
you felt left out? Have you ever felt like everyone else was doing
something, something wonderful, that you just could keep up with? We all
have, I know. It haunts us even in our adulthood. This is the reason I
talk particularly to my friends in Shallam. For those poor Orphans who
just can't carry a tune--there is an alternative. You don't have to
embarrass them by trying forcing them to sing hymns off key. Enroll the
into the Loving Hearts Orphangage in Ashtan--no singing required.
They'll grow up with more self-confidence, and they'll learn a trade.
It's a little known fact that our very own Ratman was once an Orphan in
Shallem--couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, but some compassionate
Shallamese brought him over to Ashtan and the next thing you know he has
his own thriving business.
