Liliana came to El Jordan for several years... no one has yet topped her incredible smile... but sadly, she has been back on the streets for a couple years... Pura is Liliana’s younger sister... with huge eyes and a great laugh... When she was only 12 years old, she already looked 18… Whenever I’d visit their house (actually, a metal container), she’d come up behind me and give me a HUGE hug - until I begged for mercy and a bit of air...
I went to the streets on Monday night with Nelly (one of our students)... Keiden was the center of attention... He’s small enough to not see dirt, scars, tattoos or glue bottles being hidden away... he only sees smiling faces and obligingly gives back huge smiles that make his whole face shine...
