11:10-11:40 - Counting/educational toys/colors (I have 2 kids at a table while the others are playing. We rotate ever 10 minutes where I can spend time with 3 sets of kids a day)

11:55-12:00 - To the Casitas

In the afternoons we also have a time with educational toys and learning activities one-on-one with me. They are learning so much, and they LOVE it! Over the next few blogs I will tell you a little bit about each kid. I did have 8 kids, but on Friday Jesusito left the orphanage with a new family! It is similar to the foster-care system at home before they can be officially adopted...at least this is how they do it with the Peruvians here. We are sad that we won't see him on an everyday basis, but glad that he has a family to love on him and give him the home that each child is in need of! Today was a little hard because they didn't understand why Jesusito isn't coming back, but they do know that he is with a new family and that is what is best for him. We pray for him though.
