Casa de Maria Update

Most of the folks who live at Casa de Maria, the hogar de ancianos or convalescent home, really enjoy it when the kids of Rehoboth come to visit. The laugh and clap, join in singing and sometimes even dancing, and love the attention the kids give them when they distribute cookies and juice. But there's been this one lady, in the striped or yellow sweater, who, from the very first visit, purposely turned her back on the presentations and refused to even take our snacks, let alone converse with us. This went right to Tatiana's heart, and she has tried each visit to get her to talk with her or even accept some refreshments, but each time, the lady refuses. Until the Enero visit, that is. Tatianna's patience and willingness to keep at it finally paid off, and she was so happy....I think the lady was too.

Can't wait til the next visit....maybe we can even learn her name! And what a good faith builder for Tatiana, whose own life until she came to live at the kid's home was built on being ignored, of neglect and abuse.
