The Love of the Father
Ricardo (in the red and black shirt above) was one of my favorites at Casa Amor, our partner in the Dominican Republic. CONANI (DR’s child welfare) brought him into care because his dad was no longer in the picture, […]
Birthdays and Blessings
Everybody loves a birthday party – especially your 13th (Welcome to your teenage years!), and if it’s your first fiesta de cumpleaños, then it is doubly sweet. Such was the case Monday for Weideland at Casa Amor, our partner […]
Anthony and Edwin. Worth it for One.
