Mondays are usually difficult for everyone, but somehow, they are my favourite day of the week. I have high spirits and good motivation and I work with fresh energy and joy.

You see children in all my daily posts, but I know their lives, and each of them has a story that inspires me and gives me strength to continue this work.

Mary, a young mother with two babies who do not have names; Teddy, who is HIV-positive, but who always dresses with great care, as a sign of respect for her sponsor; Roham, who learnt how to say “Multumesc” (“Thank you” in Romanian) to thank the beautiful soul that fed him this month; Kagoya, with a dreamy look on her face – perhaps she pictures her future; Shield, having a very particular name, special and poetic; Babirye, smiling brightly and enjoying the generosity and grace shared by Ernest; Apollo, one of the five children lovingly nurtured by John and Patti.

Butterflies in my day, those come, then they go, and others will come tomorrow; each day, I work with love and gratitude.
