This is About Monday

Yesterday morning was spent at Oasis and our afternoon was at Freda’s. We went to Oasis in the morning where Allison and I figured out the kids’ marks from last term to this term and compared stuff to pick some of the best students so they can go on a little trip with Geoffrey and Lydia. It looks like we will be taking the kids to an animal park we heard about where the animals are all crazy. Crazy meaning they have extra limbs and eyeballs. In the afternoon we headed to Sister Freda’s where we helped a kid walk!!! It was one of the coolest things ever. His name is Boas and he has cerebral palsy I’m pretty sure. He was fine when he was younger but then had meningitis that affected his brain. He has been at Freda’s for the last year or so where he stays in crib because he is so squirmish. He always has a HUGE smile and laughs so hard sometimes to where he does the silent laugh. It’s really cool to be around him. Graciella, a nurse from back home, has been helping stretch out his arms and legs and hands and helping him learn to walk. Allison and I got to hold him up while he kicked a ball down the hallway and back. It was unreal!!! We also got to meet/hangout with a lady Evelyn who gave birth to Michal earlier in the day. She had great English, which made it really fun to get to talk to her. The day was just great!!!

I have lots of pictures of Boaz and sang Jana Alayra songs with him and Moses and Dot and Stella (?) one day! He must have LOVED kicking the ball! He's so happy!
So great to hear from you Caroline! So glad you are there to protect Allison! :)
