I brought one of the girls, who had been begging to see my house, home with me for almuerzo and to fly a kite at the park. Jessica and I had such a great time, and it was an amazing opportunity to give her just for a day what kids usually don't get in the orphanage. Jessica had 6 younger brothers and sisters, and even though she was only 9 years old, she had to take care of them and not play outside many days. She, like many children there, crave individual attention from adults, and it is so easy and rewarding to step up and play our part in this world. Working here definitely made me yearn to adopt one day, or help the disadvantaged by working hands on with them again.
