The day before Xmas we had a party for the kids at the Tigri school. We met upstairs in our yet to be renovated first floor where we will hopefully move in one of these days...
We had a tree, lots of singing, dance performances by the kids, snacks, etc.
The most moving thing was the children's gratitude. Maria and Sheila had put together little gift packages for the children, just a few pencils or a piece of soap. The kids were so fired up. Some of them kept thanking us again and again.
When I think of the abundance of presents kids get in some parts of the world it is very touching to see children receive such a modest offering with so much gratitude.
I thoroughly enjoyed my morning there. The kids had a lot of fun too.
