If we were all like kids...

Most of these kids live in the neighborhood right next to ours called Small Island. They speak little to no English, and many of them do not go to school at all. Though som are on scholarship at Assumption and others go to public school (which is almost like not going to school anyway).

They come over every day, rain or shine to color, to play, to run around. Some of the peopel in the house are tired from teachign all day, especially the Elementary school teachers. But I look forward after spending a day with adolescents to coming home to these raucous and chaotic kids. They are on of the few things here that make me smile everyday.

I am glad they are around.
