.........................Day 7

Arch Street

The hurricane winds have subsided and it's turning cold, but tomorrow is supposed to be sunny!  I have a feeling if it is....people will be out on the streets everywhere!  Only a couple of children actually showed up for therapy at the Center today.  It was much like a New England snow day.  The training went well, and I ventured out after the rain stopped for groceries.  I have some potato chips and diet coke for movie time tonight  Aaron showed me a site where I could stream movies...for free....even better than Netflix.

Speaking of, I don't know if any of you have seen the BBC documentary about the institutionalization of children in Bulgaria.  It is heartbreaking and overwhelming.  The documentary illustrates the human paradox: such capacity for malice, and such capacity for kindness.   If you are interested in the link, go to You Tube and search Bulgaria's Abandoned Children Revisited.  It is a 6 part series which totals approximately one hour.  p.s.  not for children.

Kindergarten News:
Hi friends.  Soccer (called "football" everywhere in the world besides the United States) is a popular sport in Bulgaria.  The country has a professional team and they also compete in the sport in the Olympics.  "Topka" is the Bulgarian word for "ball."  I am always yelling at Ellie's brother Cooper to "Stop kicking the soccer "topka" in the house!
