Happy Birthday to all!

Hola! What a great week we've had!

We have so any volunteers here this week from so many places and we're loving being able to share so much of what we do with so many people from all over!

Diane, one of board members, is here this week and did some fundraising in New Jersey to be able to bring a birthday party to the kids for everyone! It was so great! We celebrated everyone's birthday at the same time and the kids were so excited to be able to sing together, dance together, and eat together! That was probably one of their favorite parts:)

We were able to have pizza for everyone with the money Diane had raised and even had a 3 pound chocolate cake!! The kids were so excited!


We all sat around to pray over our food before we started eating and Ernestina blessed the food, the kids, our families and the work we do. Then we ate! The kids were so excited and were even happier when we turned the music on! We danced and had a great time celebrating our birthdays and the great summer we've had so far.



We've been incredibly blessed this season and pray those same blessings on you and yours. Happy summering!
