This week I would like to highlight a special little girl named Yuladis. This little girl is extremely quite and shy, but perhaps the most polite child Ben and I have the pleasure of working with. She has the most beautiful smile, and if you can make eye contact with her, she can't help but laugh. She comes everyday, is always polite, and always does as her sister tells her to do. We're trying to get the other kids in the the foundation to behave and act like she does. We are so grateful to have such an awesome example. She will definitely be one of the hardest children to say goodbye to. For me, the greatest joy of working in Semillas de Amor is seeing children from bad backgrounds have a reason to smile and show their creativity in an uplifting environment. What might be a few hours of chaos for Ben and I everyday is a much needed way of relieving stress, energy, and emotion for these children--and when we look at our work through this lens, it helps us stay motivated. Yuladis is shown above with her trademark smile :)
