Meet Christoper. Soon to be an attendie of the daycare. La Sagrada Familia is thriving. There are still things that need to be ironed out for sure, but we now have 25 children attending, all but 3 are sponsored. Once all the children are sponsored we will be able to hire more staff and accept more children. There is a waiting list of about 20 children as we speak. The daycare was happy to receive visitors yesterday from SC they came bearing gifts from some of the sponsor families. It's so much fun to be able to show people the daycare, so they can see what we see, fall in love as we have fallen in love. Makes it more real for sure! These little nino's are so darling. Most have started to call myself and the rest of the staff Mama :) they also run to great us with hugs and kisses. I have started reading bible stories to the children in english and they love it! Soon english will become familar to them and as quick and sharp as children are, they will pick up on words. The have already learned how to say "Good Morning" in english. As well as calling me Miss Holly. The children need to be taught so many life skills that are all new to them. We certainely want them to learn accademically, but they also need to learn to wash their hands, brush their teeth, manners, wearing shoes :) eating with utensils, things that we take for granted, but that you quickly learn should never be assumed that a child or even their parents has ever learned these. Another day begins. The children are going upstairs for some play time prior to heading into the classroom. Be Blessed
