On Monday we again spent the day at Casita Adonai. Many team members taught classes to the students, who ranged from Pre-K to 4th grade. We taught several subjects, including math, drama, English, Spanish, physical education, and Bible. We had team members translating for those who did not speak Spanish. The kids were so happy to see us, and really enjoyed having our team members in their classrooms. After school, we went back to painting. Some of the team members also began sorting and tagging clothes for our upcoming consignment sale on Thursday.
Cesy, translating for Kaitlyn Our friend Cesy was too old to be in our child sponsorship program when we met her, but she definitely benefited from the program because two of her siblings were sponsored consistently. And we benefited from knowing Cesy! For years she would translate for our special programs. I remember speaking to a group of moms years ago and Cesy translated for me. She stayed for hours after the talk to help me minister to women. One of those women had concerns about her son who clearly showed signs of ADHD. Cesy helped me find natural ways to address his inattention and lack of focus and a year later that same Mom shared how Cesy's suggestions had helped! Cesy, we know how hard you have worked and we are incredibly proud of you! Thank you for being a beautiful example to young women everywhere!
