Share the Love

When you learn to live, love, and laugh like these kids, everything in the world is perfect. They are not orphans, all of the volunteers from Children's Global Alliance are their family.

The house is finished. It is painted Pacific Blue and I am incredibly proud of what we accomplished. The kids have never slept on a bed in their lives and seeing them move into the house is indescribable. I have never been so full of complete and utter joy in my life. The boys were so happy to move in. They had the happiest look on their faces when they came inside and picked their beds. I couldn't stop smiling. The kids can turn any bad day into an amazing one, and that is so valuable.

Yesterday, I taught in the English school. The school is made of wood and puts me in a good mood. It is full of quotes and drawings from the students. I wasn't the best teacher, so I was very lucky to have Karlie there to help me. The kids were more advanced in English than I had expected, it took me by surprise. Actually teaching people English was a lot more challenging than I thought it would be but it felt good to be challenged mentally and not just physically.

Today and yesterday the kids made us drawings and cards. I am going to hang up each one in my room when I get home. I love each and everyone of these kids so much, I am contemplating stuffing them in my suitcase and bringing them home. They are so adorable and wonderful.

Finishing something is great, but finishing something for someone you love, is brilliant.
