Amor Del Nino

On Friday and Saturday we went to an orphanage named Amor Del Nino which is in between Antigua and Guatemala City. It is run by an American couple in the mountains. They have hired Guatemalan nannies to help take care of the forty-one children living there right now. Most of the kids there seemed to be fine but some of them did have special needs. Our job was to love on the kids and play with them. We blew bubbles, painted nails, braided hair, took the kids on a walk, and played tag. There was a big difference in how the kids were treated at Amor Del Nino and how the kids were treated at Hermano Pedro. Amor Del Nino was a very loving place but it is still not a family. There was one little girl there named Adriana who only had one leg( the other was a prosthetic), but her smile and giggle were beautiful. I spent a lot of time with her one of the days.
