Today Katie, Andreina, and I went back to Stars--the school for the slum children. We were able to help them with their English lessons and color with them. We got to play games and watch them dance. They are amazing children and I feel blessed to have been able to spend more time with them. When it was about time for the three of us to leave, they gathered us up and made us all stand together and presented us with a letter. The children had written us this letter, in English, to tell us how much they appreciated us. Here is part of it:
"We give you all a lot of thanks for coming over here and encouraging us in such a way. You all made us happy; we could have learn many things from you all. Once again we give thanks to you all, for your esteemed presence with us in our school. We know you all are very kind and lovely ones. We pray for you all. We welcome you all once again to our school.
We love you all.
Thanking you all
By,
Kids
Students"
These children have really made an impact in my life as well as the live of my teammates.
Jenni and Catherine spent the day connecting with the Vice Principle of the nursing school and working on a project that the CEO of the hospital asked us to work on.
Natalie, Tyler, and Mandy all went back out to the rehabilitation center and are still there. They will probably write more about their day when they return.
Much Love,
Sarah
