In the morning, we
continued on the prep work for the roofing and flooring of the two homes. After
lunch we visited the Mustard Seed Communities which is an orphanage for
severely disabled children ages 6 months to 18. We enjoyed the afternoon
playing with the 31 orphans. We distributed the Infinity Knitty Bears that so
many in our Aquidneck Island community knitted for our trip as well as the baby
quilts made by the PHS textiles class, and the soccer balls collected from the
Portsmouth Pirates.
After the distribution, Miranda presented her
hand sewn clothing to the director of the orphanage. This is her Senior
Project…which is to sew clothing for the needy children of Nicaragua. It was a
fabulous day which ended in a nightly circle which was truly heartwarming. The
nightly circle gives the students and opportunity to share what we have seen,
what we are feeling, and what we have learned. Parents, you would be so proud
of what your humanitarians are sharing…
All for now. Thanks so
much for your support!
