This is Bob. He is a sweet sweet boy around five years of age who lives in the slums. Bob loves to play, play ball, play games, jump and he has the sweetest laugh. When you play with him his response of love is to hit. You have to be careful with Bob, though, around three years ago Bob had to have open heart surgery because his father beat him so bad he went into cardiac arrest.
You see, while this is an extreme case, many of these beautiful children have drunks for parents. Many of them not only live in extreme economical poverty, they also receive abuse as a response to the poverty; you live the way you were taught to live. Many of the kids, such as Fi look to us as a place to receive affection in its purest form. Once they realize we are here to give love their desire for attention abounds.
These kids have so much love and talent its amazing! This little guy, DoeSoe (I have no idea if I am spelling any of these names right) within one day he learned to throw and catch a frisbee, how to twirl a frisbee, to dribble a soccer ball (futball), and then the next time we went he figured out how to ride a skateboard, including turning! If he watches you do it once, he's got it! DoeSoe loves Zac!
This is Ben. He always has his music playing through his speakers. If you mess with his music, he gets very mad.
Precious baby, Kittee, always brings joy to our time.
This is the frisbee star, Bud.
Through the dirt, the grim, the germs and lice these children mean the world to us; it is the reason we are here. Maybe each of us have a different calling in each country but we are all called to love; to love with the pure joy and peace of our Heavenly Father.
Make me the breath of God
And I'll show them the One that means the most to me
They'll see the face of love
Be touched by the very one who died upon the tree
