So my mother and father came here to Teopisca for Thanksgiving (7 days in all) and we had a really great time.
And while on the airplane, my parents met a group from Canada and they began talking about the orphans and abandoned children we are working with. When the plane landed my mother told me that there was a lady in the group that really wanted to speak to Sarita and me. Her name is Louisette Gauthier and I believe she is the one that was in charge of the whole tour group. We also met her friend Rolland, who I believe works with Louisette...they are two very nice ladies!!!
We spoke for a few minutes and then she said that she had talked to mom and dad and that she wanted to give the children some clothes. I told her that I could give her our address in Teopisca but she said that she already had the clothes with her...she said that she brings things like this with her on her trips in hopes that she will cross paths with those in need.
She gave us an entire suitcase filled with clothes and she let us have the suitcase as well. She had clothes for infants, clothes for children and teens and stuffed animals. She even home made blankets, socks and hats that her mother had hand embroidered. They were so excited to give them to us, but I told them that they children would be more excited to receive them...especially from so far away.
Below are pics of the children receiving their clothes from Canada!!!!
Beto showing off his new sweater...
Litte Nichita really liked her new vest...
The oldest of the bunch, Lucio, said his new shirt was COOL!!!!
Here is Rosa Linda with her hand embroidered blanket...
Saulo really loved this shirt as it has a GAP sticker and he is old enough to know that it is a "really awesome brand" (using his words)!!!!
Cristian and his new warm sweater...it is needed as it gets cold here in the winter...
