One of our kids came to camp and couldn't sit down. At first I thought she was just being annoying, but she was actually unable to sit. She had to lie on her stomach all day and couldn't do any of our dances. At one point she lifted her shirt on accident, uncovering a bunch of purple bruises on her stomach. I asked her what was wrong and she said she fell. I talked to the supervisor of our partner program and he says she really did fall, but it's disturbing and I'm still debating what I should do about it. My heart just aches for these kids....especially when I get frustrated at them for losing focus or forgetting to memorize their lines because WHAT AM I THINKING?! Of course they can't memorize their lines. It's nearly impossible when they have such troubled homes.
On a completely different note.......here is my favorite camper quote to date:
Alexis (7 yrs old): Last night my little brother (2 yr old) dreamed that he was Martin Luther King Jr.
................................oh wait, no..........that was Elmo.
I started this blog when I went abroad a few years ago to document my travels. Now it is a place for me to write random thoughts. Check out the right-hand column for old entries.
