In all, over $300 has been donated towards the kid's library at L'esperance. With those funds we have been able to buy about 150 books for the children to read. They are all so excited! Some even turn hostile as they fight for the book they want. We have taken this to be a good sign. Haha! Due to the amount of dirt, the kids ability to lose the books, and our total inability to keep track of each book, we pass the books out at the beginning of class and collect them at the end. But not at day goes by that we won't hear a knock at our door with kids standing on the other side asking if they can sit in our living room and read. They have discovered the magic of reading and I hope, that from this time on, they will never lose that gift. A big thanks to all of you who made this a reality.
Sam, reading and coloring while we work on his toe.
