When we got home Rebecca called all the girls into the girls’ room. We had selected a shirt and pajamas from the stuff I brought from the states for each girl. We passed out the shirts first. They celebrated getting a new shirt like you wouldn’t believe. There was a lot of screaming, dancing and singing…over a shirt! A shirt I got for $1 each at Wal-Mart. Who knew a $1 could bring that much joy! They immediately put them on as quickly as they could.
After each girl got their shirts we passed out the pajamas. These girls have never had pajamas. They sleep in their clothes. They looked and felt like princesses when they put them on. They were so giddy! They were excited and so grateful.
Can you imagine a child in America getting excited about a shirt and a pair of pajamas???
