Feb Update 2012










"This month I have chosen to highlight a few of Berline’s friends.  There are currently 61 children at the Toddler House and five 2 year olds from the main house who visit the Toddler House each morning.  The older kids have enjoyed getting to know these little ones and pouring on the love and affection.  All the kids at the Toddler House are like one big family.  These kids are their brothers, sisters, and friends.  They eat, sleep, play, and go to school together.  It is a joy to spend time at the Toddler House and see all the kids playing and having fun together.  Sure they don’t always get along but it is obvious that they are learning, growing together, and that they love and care for one another very much.
Berline had her friend Judith help her write out who her 3 best friends were and why she likes them.  Judith is 11 years old and is one of the oldest girls at the Toddler House and is a role model for many of the younger children.  Berline told Judith what she wanted to write in Creole and Judith translated and wrote it out in English for Berline.  Attached to this email you will find 3 pages that Judith helped Berline write and then Berline decorated them.  It is fun to see what the kids have to say about their friends in their own words.  I hope you enjoy getting a little insight into Berline’s friends here at GLA."
