“As rain restores the earth, hope restores the spirit.”


Today is our last day at Center 2 as we will be at Center 1 next week. Thus a celebration/thank you party has been planned. It was amazing to see all the babies lined up in costumes in high chairs and the rest of the children on little chairs. The program consisted of each room including the babies doing a dance. Next the tíasdid a dance. Finally, we sang “If You’re Happy and You Know It…” in Spanish and English as we did the actions. Then we presented a banner made by Holly, Maggie thanked them for us, and lastly a frozen yogurt treat was given to each person. The program was greatly appreciated and had taken a lot of work by the tías and children.

We were invited to lunch at a FUNDAC board member’s home, which was a marked contrast to the home we were in yesterday. We had a nice meal and learned more about FUNDAC. It was started 30 years ago by a group of friends who saw a need for a low income daycare facility. Global Volunteers helped greatly with the construction of Center 2. We will miss the people we have been with at Center 2 and wish them many blessings in the care of the children.
