Children visit "La Avispa" Interactive Museum
in Chilpancinco
LA AVISPA:
In early July, we just had to try out our new bus on
the highway, so we piled 62 kids, Lalo and Jovita, and
with Ricardo at the helm drove to Chilpancingo to visit
the Children’s interactive museum and then lunch
at the kid’s favorite restaurant, “McDonalds”.

Children visit "Circo Union" en ?????????
CIRCUS: we got an invitation to “Circo
Union” by the DIF’s District Attorney for
Child Welfare. What a surprise for them as none of the
new children had ever been to a circus! None had ever
seen an elephant or tiger up close, and the kids were
in the front row!

Children visit "Isla de Roqueta" in Glass
Bottom Boats
ROQUETA ISLAND: We piled all the kids
in the new bus and a van and took them to the pier downtown
to go to Roqueta Island for a swim and a picnic. Again,
most of the new kids had never been in a boat. Thanks
to MARTIN RAMOS, owner of the VICTORIA GLASS BOTTOM
BOATS, who kindly invited us. It was rainy and windy
as we left the pier, but the kids were so enthused about
the outing they were not about to let a little rain
interfere. On arrival at the island, they all jumped
into a soup-warm ocean and didn’t mind the drizzle
which soon quit anyway. It was an incredible day!

Meliza leaves for College in Mexico City

left for Mexico City to go to college shortly after
returning from Peru. We miss her as she was a great
help with the younger children. She had been at The
Marsh Children's Home for over 10 years!

Meliza & Yurisan return from Cusco, Peru
STUDENT EXCHANGE: Meliza
and Yurisan returned from their exchange in Cusco,
Peru after several weeks there. It was an eye opening
experience for them. They had to adapt to the cold
(It’s winter there), the food and many new things.
They came back with many new friends and a better
understanding of life in a children’s home elsewhere.
Many thanks to the Hogar
San Pedro,
Sister Corazon, Sister Edhy and all the Nuns and girls
for making the visit unique! Jovita stayed one week
in Cusco. She even got to go to Macchu Picchu! The
Sisters of Mercy were delightful hosts. The girls
from the Hogar San Pedro put on a water color exhibition.
Jovita, Ricardo, Jim Evans and Jan Waring were asked
to be Judges. Hard task as all the paintings were
outstanding! Many thanks to JIM EVANS and JAN WARING
for outfitting our girls and Jovita with brand new
cold weather clothes and helping out with many of
the expenses.
