On Sunday, August 29, our family (minus Nick and Ben) took the teenage girls from Rosa de Amor out for lunch. We were celebrating my birthday and Yolanda's birthday, both in August. We had a fun time getting to know the girls a bit better.
We went to a restaurant in Antigua called La Estancia. I was saddened to realize that of the five teenagers, only one was able to read the menu. These dear girls have had so few educational opportunities in their difficult lives. We were thankful to have one of the orphanage workers along, and she helped them order their food.
We also had two babies along, the girls' children. Little Rosita was an angel the entire meal.
When we returned to the orphanage, I had a craft for all the kids. We made animal masks. Every time I take an activity the teenagers want to participate, too.
Some of the girls proudly wearing their masks.
Tony - the gorilla.
