I love these boys! This is Wilbur and Jonathon. They are good friends. When we met Wilbur he was not going to school because he had been run over by a cart (they still have horse-drawn carts in Nicaragua) and because he had to stay home to watch his sister. At the beginning of the week, you could see the pain and heartbreak in his eyes. On our last day in Nicaragua, we took all of the kids to the beach and Wilbur ran onto the beach and did a cartwheel! That is when I knew it had been a good week. With a little help from us, Wilbur now goes to school!
