Cheers for Health!






Dove is ABUNDANTLY THANKFUL to precious Kathleen and Kara Lapso for doing physicals on the kids these past couple of days! According to "Nurse Kathy," the blood pressures and heart rates of our sweet kids are normal, which is definitely a victory to be thankful for! Their height and weights were also noted in order to keep track of growth. Several of the older kids, especially Anamilka and Danessa, helped out with the younger ones when receiving their check-ups! We're incredibly proud of the older guys and girls who continue to step up in terms of responsibility around the club. They find undeniable joy in caring for the younger children, and it is our hope that their caring hearts continue to be beautifully cultivated. May they see the genuine love of their volunteers and shower that same affection across the little ones!
