Each year, Sandy Vasque, who grew up in the home a while back and is now retired from working for Copa Airlines, gives a wonderful fiesta for the girls at her home. This is fiesta 2007 the Saturday before Christmas. (The last Christmas Fiesta for all of the girls together was the next day at church.) Here they all are in her patio getting the party off to a flying start. The girl in red with braids is Pati, the daughter of Mariela Martinez, who grew up in the home and who works for us now while she is finishing the University at night. (When she came to the home at age 10 she had not been in school enough to learn to read!) Mariela is one of the adults there with a black and light blue shirt. The woman in green near Pati is Judith Hernandez, one of our child care workers. At the end in red is Sandy.
Maria Isabel, her sister Sinilda and Johana waiting for the dancing to start.
Karla practising the split.
Santa, Sandy and Genesis. Each girl received 3 or 4 gifts bought especially for them by one of Sandy's friends or coworkers.
