We had a volunteer meeting last night to go over food, chores and everyday operating issues. A story was shared with us about one of the boarders. A matron had walked into the kitchen and found this young boy standing by himself staring off into space. She was concerned and asked if he felt alright. He responded "I was just thinking about how much I suffered and how much I have now."
This boy joined Flying Kites in January after the chief had let our director know about a child sleeping behind the shops at night. To meet this child you would never know or begin to imagine the hardships he has endured. He smiles and laughs and loves hugs and enjoys bikes and the dog and video games. He is 9 years old.
That's why.
