It isn't often that we have people from this country come and share and play with the kids. It is usually lots of groups from the states that come and play and love on the kids. Part of that is because we have to be so careful who we are allowed to come and visit and see the kids.
Well last fall a youth group from Tegucigalpa made connections here to our children's home through Teleton. Teleton is where our kids with special needs go to receive classes.
Well last fall the kids and the adults really seem to hit it off. Last week we got a call that they would like to come out and spend time with the kids again. I told them that would be fine but please just come and spend time with them no gifts.
Sunday afternoon they arrived ready to play a friendship soccer tournament. The kids had lots of fun!!! They came prepared with pom poms for the ones on the side lines to cheer on the others. They switched out every 10 mins to a different team that got to play. When all was said and done they gave the medals. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place medals! The kids that didn't play all recieved 3rd place medals. Of course they weren't real medals but the kids still loved them. The next day several of them still had on their medals at devo and one of them I even noticed when I went to wake them up that morning had it around her neck.
After the awards ceremony they brought a little snack to share with all of the kids. They also sang a few songs for the kids. The neat thing is one of the young kids in the youth group is also deaf and they learned a song in sign language and got to share that with all of our kids. It was special for Rosy to be included!!!!
The kids are already for them to plan their next visit here to Casa!!!!
