I'd like to share with you a "Douglas Moment" from this past month - their own version of the Kentucky Derby. I was at Casa Hogar Douglas with an american team from the Family Christian Stores - James Fund when I saw the 5 and 6 year old boys organizing races down their hill on recently donated toddler bikes with the 3 year olds as drivers. The kids came up with the idea, organized it, orchestrated it, judged it, took turns - and loved every second of it. The americans, who were there for a cookout, just sat back and laughed... it was a beautiful afternoon
Jahir, Alex, Cesar (in yellow), Josue, Angel, Marta, Aldair and Alexis getting all set up on the starting line
they competed in teams of 2 -- road blocked by Cesar
went very fast
and often crashed but laughed afterwards
