Today I was at the swimming program. I have told a few people that I really enjoy getting to know the kids on a different level than I am able to at the Breakfast Program. I have free time to focus just on them, and I think it helps that we are doing something I love and am good at - swimming. I can teach them and give them a ton of positive feedback. They are learning so quickly!
They spend all morning calling my name, asking me to watch the new thing they can do. It has been a great bonding opportunity. Today I was talking to two of the older girls at the pool when suddenly one of them threw her arms around my neck and said, "I love you!"
I replied, "I love you too!"
She said, "I hope you never leave Honduras."
I just kept hugging her.
