SuperKids & God's Child
I want to share with you a blog Josh and I have been following:
http://superninos.wordpress.com/
The author is a woman (a very special woman, in my opinion) who is traveling through South America with an organization called SuperKids. She's a physical therapist who's mission is to improve the lives of orphans and make their homes more supportive for their development. The reason the blog originally caught my attention is that she's doing some work at Casa de Maria in Medellin which is the orphanage Sam was at.
Reading her blog entries has brought up a variety of different emotions for me. I am so thankful that there are people like her in this world who are striving to make a difference in the lives of these children. I sometimes feel so helpless and wonder what else I can do to help. They also bring back happy memories of our time in Medellin. It's been fun seeing pictures of Medellin and the orphanage. Check out the pictures of the Christmas lights... they're like nothing you've ever seen before! She's staying with Gloria who was our guide while we were there so I've enjoyed hearing about her as well.
I also have been thinking alot about the children in Guatemala. Josh and I watched a news show last week where they did a short story on Casa Jackson Malnutrition Center in Antigua, Guatemala. Seeing these children who were so severely malnourished is just heartbreaking. Casa Jackson is one of the many programs started by the God's Child Program (whose home office is based out of Bismarck, ND). This is one organization I am happy to promote because they do amazing things for the children not only in Guatemala but all over the world. Josh and I are currently sponsoring a child through them and we are looking forward to a service trip in the future. If you would like to learn more about this organization, please visit their web site and consider making a donation... or even sponsoring a child!
