Currently, we have 5 infants at Sala Cuna: Mayte, Elvin, Alden, Wendy and Josue. In order for them to be able to experience a special day, we took them to the seaside and spent the whole day at the beach of Puerto Cortes. Our little ones had heaps of fun dabbling in the water and playing with sand.
March 11 was Patricia’s 30th birthday. The children sang the “Mañanitas” in front of her room at four a.m. That’s a custom which shall bring luck to the birthday child. Foundation council member Gerard treated the kids and the staff to a tasty lunch, a cake, a floral bouquet, and a Piñata. Thanks a lot, Gerard, for this wonderful surprise. The day was completed by a “disco” at the children’s home.
The main attraction of the month is represented in Juan Carlos. The little, abandoned boy was lying in a little bed at IHNFA, the public home, as Edwing and Patricia saw him. At IHNFA, infants are scarcely looked after. He immediately caught their eyes with his special charisma, which resulted in them deciding to take him home. He is four months old and his mother died when she gave birth to him. His father is unknown. He is still malnourished at the moment, as well as highly backward in development, since they failed to nurture him appropriate to his age. No doubt he will recover quickly here at our home.
