Back Once Again

Well, I have now been home again for a month and a half.
So that little cutie patootie is Celeste. I worked with her a majoriy of my time there this second trip. She is as stubborn as you can get at 4, and started coming to the day home, a type of school for special needs children, right when I arrived at the mission. She is deaf and came knowing absolutely no sign language, which we both had in common.

The day home was started because the people with special needs in Mexico are often ngelected, and they are not allowed to attend school, so therefore never gain independence. Some people from the mission were going through the town and heard crying inside a shed. They found that a little girl who was crippled had been locked inside in the festering heat, because her parents were at work. Every day she was locked in the shed until they got home. Because of this, they decided to start the day home, which gives these children a place to go, and a chance for a future.
