One day In Mololoa...

Today I went to a community here in Tegucigalpa called Mololoa, it was my second time there, and I already feel like I've been part of this forever,
I went with Katrina, Ranndy, Jennifer Arnold, My little sister Marcela, and her friend Carmen, we got there, and we went first to this house where there are 4 kids, the older is 10 , and their mom left, and she is not planning or wanting to come back, their dad is all they have we went to their house and talked to him, and even help another person get a job by taking care of his kids, because they have to go to school, and that is a very important thing, they cant miss that part, I think education is very important, and definitely our country is a third world country because of the lack of knowledge, and lack of education. but, hopefully these kids will go to school. after that we went to another house, it was funny how we were all having a hard time going down, and I wonder I mean those kids just come flying down and they never fall...but oh well...then we went to talk to Doña Ana, she has 5 kids, and hopefully her house will be build, we talked to her, invited her to church and she said she will be there tomorrow, so hopefully she will. on our way up, I saw this kid, he was naked, and all dirty, well, you could barely see his eyes, from the dirt, He was all black like covered with mud, and dirt, and I looked at him, and I honestly felt I just wanted to take that kid away from there, Like I just imagined him, well I am right now, Im just imagining him with clean clothes, going to school , being all a successful man, with a happy family, and... well..we wanted to talk to his mom, and at the beginning she was like no Dont waste my time, so we were heading up and I just wanted to go back and really explain why were there, so she paid attention and she said that she definitely nees a house, and I mean we could see that she really needs one, she then pushed the kid inisde and he started crying, to be honest I cant stop thinking about this kid, I know I will see many other kids like him, and maybe I just have to be ready for that, but honestly it did made a big impact in me, I was just writing an email to my dad right now, telling him about this, and I remember that when I was little outside of our house, my dad for my 4 year old birthday gave me a little house as a gift, it was this dollhouse that I could actually go in, and I used to spent hours and hours there, and I was just telling my dad that I was so lucky that I had a house as big as the ones they have and they live with their 5 or 6 kids, I had that to play. so...I really cannot say that I feel what they feel, I and I bet none of all the Wonderful people that are in this project have stayed over night there, we cannot say for sure, how it must feel. Honestly if I wish sometimes that I could do more, I will just pray for all the kids there, all the families, and for the kid that I honestly cant stop thinking about his situation. maybe someday, he will have a wonderful family and be more than successful..why not. all things are possible.

You are doing amazing things, even the little things count so much to those people. a smile, a word of encouragement, knowing someone cares, a pat on the back or hand or the shoulder, just being an ear for someone to talk to, these things mean so much to those people. It may seem like there is SO MUCH you want to do, but don't worry because each step of the way makes a big difference. I know especially because you speak the same language and you have a sincere heart. keep up the good work Fabiola, I'm so proud. Reusser
