\"\"<\/a>Today was the first day we spent with the kids. It was amazing!! The kids were so happy to meet us. They welcomed us with open arms.<\/p>\n

We played games and sang songs. I think the kids enjoyed playing musical chairs to country music. I am so glad for the experience of meeting these kids; they have so much to give to the world. Some of the kids need some extra care because they did not experience care\/love at home.<\/p>\n

I learned that one of the kids walked up to a police man and told him point-blank, that his mom hit him and drank a lot and he did not want to live there any more. One of the other kids has 2 brothers and he had to be both mom and dad when he himself was not truly equipped to lead them.<\/p>\n

Even through the language barrier, it was so rewarding since I got the kids to smile and join in on my crazy antics. I am so thankful to have been able to go on this trip. It has already been so much fun even though I have only been here for 2 days. I can\u2019t wait to go back tomorrow.<\/p>\n
