Sharing God's Love

 Mandy Minger, member of St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, PA writes -

  
"On the day we arrived, we were visiting the girls in the home and Heidy was combing my niece, Mady's, hair. A few of the little girls were giggling and watching and I was tickling them when Rocío walked over. She sat on my lap and then settled in on my shoulder and quickly fell asleep. I couldn't believe it and asked one of the tias where her bedroom was so that I could put her down for a nap. When I stood up, she sleepily pointed back to the chair outside her room indicating that she wanted me to sit there in the breeze and she dozed off again. I felt pure joy as I held Rocío. It was like holding an angel and I knew that I was in the right place at the right time doing God's work. I'm smiling as I recall how happy I felt watching her sleep on my shoulder. I love that she trusted me enough to hang her arms around my neck and sleep peacefully." 

Education The Key For Success

 
In today's modern and competitive society, OLRM continues making education a priority providing all the girls with an education of excellence according to their abilities to make them shine and be successful in life.  This past month of June, Heydi completed her pre-school education, Diana and Ismelda completed their elementary school graduating from Sixth Grade, Belkis Jasmin received her Diploma as a Certified Nurse's Aide, which was her dream, and Olga graduated from College with a degree in Business Administration.
