For the children of Luz de Maria, today was a special day. Normally, they had soup for five days out of the week and two times a week, they would have meat as a source of protein. But today, they were having pizza which was a rare treat. The girl about, named Gisella, is a special needs girl. Luckily, she was able to be put up for adoption before the law that put an end to adoption in Guatemala was put into effect. Later this year, she will be adopted by a family into the United States. She was a character too! While most kids had only one piece, Gisella kept saying "más" which means more. She had two pieces and quite a few refills of orange soda. The thing that really amazed us was when the children learned that it was lunch time, they all took the tables and chairs, set them up and sat pateintly for their pizza without being told to. They all had great manners and were so gracious to have someone to play with. After lunch, the children put their tables and chairs back, once again without being told to, and it was time for more fun!
