Water therapy with Gertrude's
Eight of our team members were able to take 6 of the children from Gertrude's Orphanage to a pool for water therapy. The sweet children are physically handicapped. For some it was to encourage movement, and for some it was to help relax their tight muscles.
Seeing the children so filled with joy at such simple things like a swimming pool, so many that we in the States take for granted, was a reminder that gratitude and joy are so closely linked.
I want to show my gratitude more often!
What a joy to see our children in the group take such an active role in jumping in boldly to help however was needed. Both of my daughters loved how sweet and happy and cuddly one of the little boys was, and it delighted me to see them both embrace this new experience with open hearts.
