We had our first birthday celebration on May 10th and we have two more in May! In many group homes, birthdays are celebrated once a month for all who have birthdays in that month. At Daughters of the King, we celebrate each girl’s birthday individually, thanks to the help of our Bolivian volunteers and their families.
Our first birthday girl turned 10. This is an important age in our home, because at 10 our girls begin their leadership training. We start early, so that we have enough time to help our girls become leaders in their community, church and future profession. At age 10 we start our lessons with the textbook written for pre-teens, Walking in Peace: How to resolve conflicts.
Our girls are counting the days until the next birthday party!
