The absolute best thing you can do is find out what the children would like!. also, if at all possible (dont know how old they are) get them to help you create it!. Its great that you're brightening the place up, but giving the children meaningful experiences and ownership of the spaces they inhabit will make it more of a home to them!.
So, if you dont speak the language find a translator, or use pictures and symbols to converse with them - and remember that communication is mainly about body language! Wishing you the very best of luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

perhaps you could paint a mural of the character annie, who managed to rise above her days in the orphanage and have a very happy and successful life afterwards!. good luck with your assignment !Www@QuestionHome@Com
