Here are some of our favorite picks…these kids never stopped being joyful!
Me and Andrea. This girl was part of a family that was one of the poorest in La Acequia. She and her 9 other brothers and sisters live with their mom and grandmother in basically a one room shack. Her smiles never ceased.
Our favorite kid was named Jorgito. He had a broken finger which we try to care for during the week. We nicknamed Jorgito, Taz, because he was like a little tazmanian devil running around. He never stopped and was hilarious. Despite his broken finger, which he held up in the air as he ran around, he never stopped smiling!
Miguel stood out above the rest! He was a caring, thoughtful young boy who never stopped smiling. He nicked named eric Zidane because he looked like the French Soccer player Zinedine Zindane! He was excited to score on Eric when we played soccer!
Heide was another great little girl. She always sat with me at church and wrapped her arms around me and just say their. She was the sweetest thing with the sweetest spirit!
