Here are some pictures from the swimming time at the orphanage. These kids are so cute and fun! I had to share their adorable faces!The Lord is definitely blessing our times at the orphanage. Ali and I get to spend half the day there every Thursday, and it has become my favorite day of the week. It truly is so rewarding to work with the kids, something I haven't quite experienced before. So now, I'm brainstorming ways that I can continue to volunteer with kids when I return back to Colorado. My friend Sarah in Boulder volunteered last year with an after school type program at a family-assisted living neighborhood in Boulder. This community also spoke mostly Spanish, so that would be a great place to practice my Spanish too. Anyhow lets hope that I'll have time to volunteer and not get sucked into a crazy working schedule.
Also at the orphanage, Josh and Brad were able to help with the storm draining problems at the orphanage. Josh and Brad were able to do a mini survey of their land and scout out the best solution for the drainage. I know, its cool stuff! :)
Well here are the pictures:

If you'll be back in Boulder, there are tons of opportunities for volunteering with kids! I volunteered with the YWCA helping a girls' photography class on Thursdays and I know they had a bunch of other things going on. The volunteer fair CU hosts was really helpful for bringing out the different places to volunteer. But I bet any city/town in Colorado has a dozen opportunities as well, you just have to look a bit harder.
