Meet Beni, Cory, Simone, Philipo, and Maria. When we were still at the baby home we shared an apartment with other volunteers. One of them brought movies so Ned and I were able to watch Zoolander on our lap top. The very next day we look out the window and saw this….four little boys running around the yard in little girl swimsuits. I think the nannies who dressed them simply didn’t know that girls are supposed to wear ‘costumes’ and boys are just supposed to wear shorts. They were oh so happy running around in their little suites and having a little water fight. Their actions were oh so joyful, light hearted… and gay. I am not exaggerating- it was EXACTLY like the Freak Gasoline Fight Accident scene in Zoolander. This is without a doubt the hardest I have ever laughed in my life. Ever. If you don’t think it is funny maybe you should watch the movie again.
Philipo and Maria went to live in a home for children with HIV. I felt so terrible the day they left. I imagined how scared Paige would be if two people just came and picked her up one day to go and live in a new home. We felt much better after actually seeing them go. Maria got to wear a new dress and pretty shoes as her ‘going away clothes’. Philipo didn’t really care about his going away clothes, he was so darned excited because he got to leave in the back of a gari! A car.
