Changing seasons:
A time for growth |
As the leaves change colors in the U.S., Bolivians are seeing the new life that Spring brings.
Ninos con Valor experienced a "wild summer" (winter in the north) with three mission teams and settled back into the routine of school, homework, chores and activities. Each day has different highlights as our children and youth grow and learn. The unique, charming, fun, energetic and thoughtful personalities cannot be contained.
Just like the seasons - our kids are changing in the best possible ways!
Peace and Blessings, |
