For those of you that know me very well, you know children aren’t my strong point. If they aren’t my nieces or nephews they’re lucky if I even hold them.
That all changed in Swaziland.
Once we got to Swaziland, I didn’t know how I was going to handle working predominantly with children. I just figured I would try my best.
After just a few days at the Timbutini care point, I was completely in love with the children there. I played with them, told them bible stories, taught them English, and even some Spanish!
The rest of the month I ended up walking a few miles every day to go to the Tulani care point with David. There I met a special little girl that captured my heart. Every morning she would see me with some of my team mates walking by her home and she would run up and to hold my hand.
She would come with us and at the care point we would love on the children. Play, sing songs, dance, and just have fun.
Before this point I never knew I could love a child as if they were part of MY FAMILY. But I do, and not only her, but all the children I met in Swaziland and all the children I now know in Romania.
