The children are fine. We have 3 new kids, Leonel 10 months old, Karely 4 years old, Frida 3 years old. The first 2 children need a lot of help. Their father is in prison and mother has to work. Karely needs special attention as she is undernourished and small. We are going to take her to CRI, the center for special children, and find out what the doctors can do for her. Leonel her brother is healthy, and Frida is healthy too.
On Friday, 3 of our kids that been here since kindergarten are graduating from middle school on to High School Alexis, Vicente and Yvette.
Also graduating from kindergarten 4 kids, Monse, Carla, Evelyn & Julio. They are already enrolled in Elementary.
Another group of 12 kids are going to take swimming lessons starting in July. The first group did very well.

We will talk to the children and see what they want to do in summer. Activities can include going to the parks, beaches, for hikes, etc.
We have petitioned the DIF (Social Services) authorities for a permit so some of the children can cross the border for the great art exhibit on 24 of September at St. Paul's Cathedral in San Diego. It may seem early, but it takes to long to get an answer.
Our project last year was for individual and group therapy. It was so successful that we would like to continue with the same project.
