Celebrating Easter



We have been blessed to have additional hands out at POPPYS House these last 5 weeks. Sandi, from Idaho, has been down investing a tremendous amount of time and energy in our girls –especially their kids. Tina, also from Idaho, has been helping out tremendously these past 3 weeks.

These ladies have helped us stain the playhouse, do art projects with the children, read with them, and more. Sandi especially has put in an incredible amount of time with the kids. She helped us develop a schedule, allowing the kids to get the rest they need, while making time (special) to spend with their mothers in a one-on-one format. She helped the mom’s with a love first attitude, while still encouraging them along the way. Their help has been especially wonderful.

These ladies decided to throw together an American Easter. The girls went on an Easter Egg Hunt (or rather plastic bag filled with goodies adventure), decorated Easter Eggs, and devoured candy. It is safe to say that they love this American tradition.

We will greatly miss these ladies as they are now in Cuzco, but they have left a beautiful imprint in our kids’ lives. We are so grateful for the help that comes down. God has, and continues, to bless us. People that care, that show love, that show friendship, help breakdown the barriers that our girls have developed. The time that Sandi and Tina invested, and the love that they showed, have brought about an incredible and beautiful change in our girls’ lives. For that we are forever thankful.
