Wednesday was fun day at the park for the kids at Esperanza de Ana. It was a reward for good behavior. Before we left, though, the kids came to greet us. It was the very first time I met Naomi, the child I sponsor here, face to face. I was so very nervous and anxious. As the kids came to greet us they walked down the sidewalk carrying homemade paper flowers and singing... and my tears started.
Naomi was introduced to me and gave me a hug. She stuck by me the rest of the day. We took a boat ride and saw monkeys up close. We swam in a pool. We had a picnic lunch. We played on the playground, even sitting down to play a little chess. These moments are so very precious.
