Last summer I was able to live at Casa Hogar for two months and clean kness, wipe snotty noses, and love on children. This summer I am excited to be going back for a month. It is a long process of support raising, forms, and planning but it will be here quicker than I know it!
I have been to many countries and experienced many cultures but there is something about this tiny little orphange off of the main road in Acapulco, Mexico that I just can not explain. There is something that draws me there and makes me long to be there. There are precious faces that I love and adore and that love me back.
I was able to go to a children's home in Mississippi during my spring break and experience what an orphanage in the US was like. I was glad that I went but it just showed me how much I love Casa Hogar and the kids there. There is something about those kids, their stories, thier smiles, their personalities, that stick to me. I know some of their stories and despite the language barrier I could tell you their personalities, what they like, how they act around people. Do I know them completely? No. But I love them dearly and I don't think there is any place that will replace Casa Hogar in my heart.
I don't know how many more summers I will be able to do this but I will enjoy this one- the difficult days and the good ones.
The purpose of this blog is to let everyone back home know what I am doing and perhaps get a glimpse into my life there, the kids lives, and the culture of Casa Hogar.
So, this is for who ever to enjoy and comment on. But before you procede... know that I can not spell or put commas in the right spot! :]
Enjoy.
