Eagle-Condor Blog

As part of our assignment at El Bichito we are required to write a post for Eagle-Condor’s blog about one of the children at the center.  This keeps their sponsors and those donating to the organization up to date on what’s happening and what’s being accomplished.  I thought I’d post mine here as well.  Feel free to check out their blog and see what they’re doing all around South America and meet some of the other great kids we get to work with every day..... http://blog.ahomeforachild.org/

From day one, Luzelena has been an angel sent to help us.  She is one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met and has a contagious smile with a hint of mischief.  The very first day with the children, she and another girl wrote me a little note that I will always cherish.  It doesn’t say much, but it says enough to keep me going during the tough times.  That was the first of many thoughtful notes from her.  Luzelena enjoys doing anything we are doing and is always up to try new games with a little bit of encouragement.  She’s very much a girl and loves making bracelets, writing letters, having her hair braided and braiding our hair.  She comes to the center with her nephew, Cristian, and doesn’t let her eyes off him.  Whether she’s carrying his food, reading to him, or making sure he gets a turn in every game, she’s the best aunt he could ask for.  Before leaving the center for the day. she never forgets to give each of us a kiss and say thank you.  It’s a little reminder for each of us how blessed we are and how fortunate we have been to come and help these children.  They are an inspiration to us and their “thank you’s” mean so much!!

Is this not the cutest picture you've ever seen?!
