As we arrived in Ica, the boys were all lined up waiting for
us. They either wanted to hug you or shake your hand. It was a little awkward
but funny. There are fewer kids here than there are in Kushi. There are more
kids here that have mental and physical disabilities than in Kushi. What I do
not get is how happy both homes are when most of the boys come from horrible
backgrounds. It just amazes me to see there happy faces even though I have all
this stuff but they have nothing. They are just so happy and it makes me happy
to know that you don’t need anything because you have God. Even though we were
all very tired, after dinner we played some games. We were each given a piece
of paper and on it was an animal. I got a monkey, so I was on the monkey team. The
first game was you had to use your animal sound and make a song out of it. Team
monkeys sang the song Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, which was hiliarious! The
next game was musical chairs, which our team didn’t win that either. After that
we tried hot potato, which didn’t work the first time because the balloon got
popped. After that game was a speaking game where you have four people from
your team in a line. Then the boss speaks some word and you have to respond
with the action he was giving. The action was different between all four
groups, which make it so funny to watch. After that game we played the hot
potato game again, which luckily the ball didn’t land on me! Then we said our
good nights to the bed and I personally went straight to bed.
