Yesterday, all of Kasisi celebrated your birthday, and today we want to give you a big hug and thank you. For EVERYTHING! Your presence, love, and wisdom with which you surround the smallest and the most rejected. They learn the most important things from you, even when you think they are not watching…
“I heard her pray, and I knew there was a God I could always talk to, and I learned to trust Him.
I saw her prepare a meal and bring it to a sick child and to me when I had a stomachache. I learned that we must help and care for each other.
I saw her give food to the poor, and I learned to help those in need.
I saw her feed our dogs, Fred and Maya, and I learned to be kind to animals.
I saw her hang pictures made by the boys (James, Jacob and some other children) on the wall, and they immediately wanted to paint more.
She made me delicious soup, and I learned that small things can be very special in life.
Today I know that children learn the most important things by watching you – even when you think they are not looking. Sister Mariola was the Mom I always dreamed of. Today I want her to know – when you thought I wasn’t looking, I SAW YOU! You gave us a home, loved us, and taught us that everyone needs love,” wrote a former Kasisian, Tamara.
Dear Sister! We also SEE YOU every day and thank you for the opportunity to accompany you in reclaiming the world for the smallest and the most rejected. We know exactly why there is so much warmth, empathy, and goodness among our children. We send our best wishes!!! Wishing you all the best, lots of health, and strength!!!
A school kit includes notebooks, allowing children to study at home. It also includes a pair of shoes, which, if not for Kasisi, they would have to borrow from their siblings. And finally, a delicious, healthy sandwich in the backpack, which gives them the energy they need for their studies. Just like the sandwich their mother would prepare. You can pack one into their backpack today—from right here, from your own home.
