26 Years

Saturday the 29th of March I went up to Casa do Caminho where we celebrated their 26th anniversary of sheltering children and giving them the opportunity of a better future. The drive up to casa is the most beautiful path that I know. Beautiful not only because the landscape is absolutely breathtaking, but also knowing where I am heading. I know that down this curvy dirt road filled with pot holes, accompanied by rivers, and countless amounts of trees there is situated a house that facilities the reaching of your destiny (the literal translation of Casa do Caminho). Not only does it facilitate the reaching of the children's destiny but also all those who enter and choose to see the beauty therein. I do believe that all the dreams of who I want to be and accomplish in life are in part found and fulfilled down this awe-inspiring path to Casa do Caminho.

There was a small party held up at the orphanage for all those who wished to attend and celebrate. It was kept small, just including those immediately involved with the orphanage, because there is a larger party coming up soon. We had a wonderful meal prepared for all the children and guests to enjoy. It was a nice relaxing afternoon with the children.

Here I am with Daiana, over the past three years we have become really close. I love her so much and it is just so nice to be back here and spend some time with her.

Ana Carolina is new to Casa do Caminho, she arrived in the past few months. She is one of the sweetest girls here! It will be really fun to get to know her better.
