The children make it all worthwhile. Of course the adults we’ve met are always friendly and so appreciative of our help, but there’s just something about that look of pure delight on a child’s face. It makes you forget that you’re hot, tired and sweaty. And it motivates you to do even more to help.
Yesterday we spent the afternoon on an outing with the Camp Corazon crew. The day camp included some children with disabilities, some without, and several teen-aged counselors. We played games, went swimming and burned a lot of energy. Our goal was to stimulate the senses of the day camp children and expose them to new experiences.
Here are just a few pictures that show moments that we’ll carry in our hearts long after we leave Cozumel. Click on the photos to enlarge and leave us your comments below. We’d love to hear from you. — Phyllis
