April Birthdays (Nat)

So this week I mastered how to explain Go Fish to the kids.  The little girls wanna play all the time they can't get enough of it.  Neither can I haha it's so funny to play with them.  We had a huge birthday party for the kids who had birthdays in April.  We volunteers decorated the entire place...which mind you, was a chore.  We had to make our own streamers out of this weird tissue paper stuff.  We cut out letters of all the names of the birthday kids to put up on the wall with a big happy birthday sign.  It took like two days to set up, I was proud of it!  At home something like that would take like 3 hours but here, we gotta make allll the decorations from scratch.  It demands creativity haha. So that was fun.  The birthday kids all got presents that were sent from the States.  Then every single kid got a smaller present like crayons and coloring books they were SO happy.  To be completely honest, these orphans are living the high life here in Peru. I mean, it's all relative of course, but they are well taken care of at the Aldea.
