After my last post was published I received a private email from one of my guests from a few years back . They have been reading my blog since returning back home .
The indignous story struck a loving cord and asked me if I would accept a donation to help buy supplies .
Of course I will . how wonderful I thought ! But the best part of this story is that the money that was going to be donated was the birthday money of her son !
Off I went to do the shopping! For me this was not a chore ,entering the special school store in Merida , for me it was like walking in a candy store !
I had prearranged the date I would be bringing the supplies to the school and explained who had donated along with a picture .
I hope you like the photos of appreciation from the staff and the children
As you can see they made signs that not only wished Will a happy birthday in English but Spanish and Maya ! Yuum Will means Mr. Will. And wished him health and happiness and thank you from the school . It was rather overwhelming emotionally for me !but well worth it !
Thank you Will for making so many people happy on your birthday .
What a wonderful young man to put all those smiles on those dear faces!! And what a great Mom to raise such a compassionate, loving, giving son!!
I’m sure Will will love this tribute and thanks to you, Valerie, for making it all possible. A win win for everyone.
