Growing UP
What is it with kids? They keep GROWING!! We have 5 kids that have reached the age of twelve and need to be moved over to the teen home, Sagrada Familia. Xavier is 12 as well and we had planned to move him over too, but the Peruvian department of adoptions has recently declared him and his sisters Angela and Lizet as "adoptable". Now the government wants him to stay awhile longer at San Jose as they search for a family for the three of them.
Director Pedro came up with the idea of joining the two cabanas together to give us a bit more space for bedrooms at Sagrada Familia. That construction has been done and turned out quite well. Now the finishing touches are being done- the new camarotes(bunk beds)are in and the armarios (closets) are being finished. Add mattresses, pillows, blankets, more chairs and tables, and ,Voila! we're ready to receive the younger ones.
