We had breakfast and headed to work. I went to check on the baby, Juan Gabriel. I fed him, gave him his medicine and got him to sleep for a nap. I then went to play with the toddlers and visited the baby again before leaving for lunch. When we got back I was able to go see the baby, give him his bottle and medicine again and got him asleep for another nap. I played with the toddlers and then left for the evening.
Wednesday morning when I was going to the baby's house I was stopped by the toddlers playing outside. I heard a tap on the window and looked up to see the house mom of the baby holding a jar of baby food motioning for me to come in. She wanted me to feed him so that she could work in the kitchen. So I fed him, gave him his medicine and got him asleep for a nap. Once he was down for a nap I talked with the house mom about the baby and she asked if I had kids, what I did in the states, etc. It was a great conversation and I found out that Juan Gabriel has been at the orphanage since March. I am not sure why he is at the orphanage, but he is a beautiful baby! Wednesday and Thursday were a repeat of Tuesday, spending time with the toddlers and baby. Occassionally if the baby and toddlers were all sleeping I would spend some time with the older ones but most of my time was with the little ones.
Thursday after work we went suvenier shopping before dinner. Then it was back to the compound for the evening.
We had a really neat time of reflection with the whole group, we each took a turn talking about what we had learned that week and about our experiences. After this we packed up to leave on Friday morning for the beach.
