I want to talk, ask them things, know how they are, what they like, what I'm eating :) Sign language doesn't feel like it's enough right now...eventhough the children can win my heart over with just a smile. Their names go in one ear and out the other, just wishing I knew them all right away, just by the snap of my fingers. I'm thinking one of the older girls can sense my feelings of frustration of not being able to communicate and sits down next to me as I eat dinner. Her english is really good and she tells me about her dreams and aspirations. She wants to become a translator and a psychologist..."-I want to work for NHCC, this is my home, I love NHCC! I want to help the children here the way NHCC has helped me." These are the children that surround me every day, and although I curse about no aircon, sweating profusely and showering out of a bucket...they make it worth while.

Sara you are amazing! You don't need to be able to communicate with the children for them to feel that now, but it will happen and then it will be magical. xoxox
