Guatemala, May 31st-June 6th, 2014

Orphan's Heart Ballet

Recently we had a very special ballet performance in the Ducks and Squirrels group.  

One of the teens, Madison, is a ballerina.  She brought with her several leotards and shoes.  She took all the girls in the Squirrel group and taught them a few ballet positions and steps.  There is a stage in the Comedor and we lined chairs up in front of the stage and the boys all sat to watch the show.  When the music began the girls began to dance, following Madison's lead.  The girls were nervous but were so excited about their ballet clothes.  The boys were mesmerized and sat watching, speechless.  For something to keep the boys still, you know it was something special.  I don't think anyone going to see the Nutcracker this year will enjoy themselves as much as these boys did. For many of these children this will be the only ballet they will see in their lifetime.  Thank you Madison for using the experience and talent God gave you to bless these children. 

Some of them will never forget it.
