Today as every day at the LifeLink School our students were having lunch. There I was supervising the third level class and I happened to see Maritza...she had put a little bit of rice in her shirt pocket so I ask her why she did that, but she said no word. A couple of minutes later I saw her under the table crying so I took her to the bathrooms to wash her face, clean her hands, and calm her down. I asked Maritza why she was crying? Then I saw that she still had the rice in her pocket so I asked again -Why did you put that rice in your pocket? Is that for someone? and immediately she starts crying again but this time she answered and said: "Es para mi mamita" ("It's for my mommy"). By that moment I was the one with no words to say and the only thing I could do is give her food to take home for her mother. Maritza wanted to share with her mom what could possibly be her only meal of the day...
Just today in our Christhian Education subject we had started studying the Generosity principle and there was this 5 year old girl giving me a practical example about it... What a blessing!!!
Today, I want to pray for Maritza's family and each one of our students' families that God will provide and take care of their needs. And I want to thank God for LifeLink International and for allowing us to be part of this wonderful work of love!
