Well after Pedro fixed and returned our router last night I was able to return to trying to solve my storage issues on my iPad. It took me until one in the AM and a lot of shifting, deleting, who knows where all my pictures are right now, but I finally have enough space to take photos and videos and eventually film the concert on fri. Woohoo! I always have to learn things the hard way. As a result, today seemed like a long day as Ann and I were up singing with the children at 8am. By the time the last class was over I was pooped. Today I had the pleasure of meeting the sponsored child of a good friend of mine. Her name is Sara and she has big beautiful dark eyes. Her grandmother brought her to meet me at the daycare, she is her caretaker. The look on Sara's face and in her eyes spoke to me of her need for more love. I've seen the look on others as well, so starved for affection, many living with aunts, grandmothers while their mother looks for work.
I also got to meet 3 adorable young boys in the daycare center for the preschoolers. As my godchild Danhilo no longer receives services, I decided to sponsor another child and asked them to tell me who has the most need. These 3 young boys were presented to me as all in need, so you can pick one. aHHH! Don't make me choose and not in front of them, I wish I could sponsor all of them, but I can't.
Ann began a storytime with the children in the pre-school center and that seems to be going well. I think the kids really enjoy it! We later were invited to speak on the radio for a short interview-asked why did we come to Remanso? We spoke of our mission, the power of music, the building of confidence, but really when you look into the eyes of these young children you say how could we not come?
