This is Maria, left, and her twin sister, Catherine. We took this picture while we were painting one of the classrooms. Though some of the girls have lost their initial excitement about having us here, Maria is always just as excited to see us as she was on the first day. Whenever she sees us, she runs up to us, grinning. She's also very good at sports, and loves the camera more than any other girls. Catherine also has the same great spirit as her sister. Her humor is both cute and sarcastic, and she has a hilarious attitude. While she's never annoying about hanging off of us or constantly hugging us, she can still be so cuddly and cute. Even though she's not one of the best English speakers, and we can't converse with her as easily as we can with some of the others, we feel like we know her personality the best of all the girls, and we love her so much. One of the things we love about her is how rounded her personality is. She's talented at so many things. She's a really amazing dancer, and we can tell she truly loves it because we've often seen her just dancing alone to no music. She also loves to draw. Whenever we do big drawing projects with all the girls, Catherine always helps one of the youngest girls, Vanessa, with her drawings, which is so nice to see because she usually acts like the tough girl of the bunch. She always adds some humor to whatever she's doing. She sings the American songs we've taught her at ten times the normal speed and in a funny voice, which always makes us laugh.

  1. Thats such a sweet profile! I like how you are giving individual "profiles" on some of the girls, so that we can get to know whose lives you are sharing a part of. I think i'd like Catherine :) How old are these ones?

    MISS YOU

    Love, Aliya
