They smile and are open to learning. We work on puzzles and building legos. I have been able to teach them how to put the puzzles together and find similar pieces of legos to fit together.
Their puzzles are missing pieces and their legos are broken, but they don't care and enjoy the learning process.
They enjoy dancing and singing songs. I have been able to teach them Simon Says, Freeze Dance and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
We even got to celebrate the January birthdays with the children.
And then you get so caught up in the moment and the children look up at you and smile, and only then do you notice that they have no teeth or rotting teeth.
That their clothes do not fit or have holes or are just filthy.
And then I remember that these children have little to nothing.
And I give them an extra hug or rub on the back because they are children.
I recently closed my indoor park for children who are nearly the same age. I brought some of the mini notebooks and bubbles with me and the kids love them.
It means a lot to know that My Kids Clubhouse was able to share some love with these children.
When I return to San Diego, I plan to prepare packages to send to the school. The teachers need pens and pencils and they love my Renew lotion. The kids need extra clothes, backpacks, art supplies, puzzles, dvds and those rope walkers.
I am hoping to make an annual package to send to the school. If you would like to make a donation, please email me at mykidsclubhouse@gmail.com
