Neydi... child #10!

About a month and a half ago, the newest edition to the Villa Israel orphanage arrived with a big, beautiful smile, and cute little braids. Neydi is 6 (or 8), depending on who you ask, but has a gentle little voice and an affectionate smile. She had been bouncing around from place to place before she came to us, but seemed to adapt easily to new situations.

In her time with us so far, Neydi has won our hearts with her sweet spirit and her eagerness to try new things. We had a scare when she ran away for more than a week, but since returning to us, it seems like she has adjusted better into the Villa Israel family, taking on her role as a big sister to the younger kiddos, and learning from her older siblings.

Neydi loves to read, color, and discover. She´s working on the basics of spelling and numbers, but is rapidly progressing, and is a bright little girl. We´re also excited that Ana, the only other girl besides Charlie and Liseth´s little girl, has another girl to play with.

Please remember to keep these kiddos in your prayers. Life has thrown them so much already, and they need all the prayers they can get.

Thanks!
