Thursday evening we attended a Fundraiser for the Children's Home. It was an evening at Ita's restaurant where we all gathered for a meal of Ribs, Carne Asada or Mahi Mahi. Wanda Lee, a Gospel Country singer, provided some entertainment and we were blessed with the kids singing as a group. We had a small auction, passed the hat and collected a few pesos to support the children.
Cristian Cruz's three year old daughter, Kaylani, grabbed the spotlight and sang a song from the movie Frozen. She was in full costume alive with drama, acting, twirling, and singing out "Let it go, let it go, let it go...."
There has been a lot of support for the Home and we have individuals going out daily to help with cleaning, food prep, repairs and of course the remodel of the kitchen. When it involves kids, it seems that many have a heart that simply wants to help.
For the fun of it, I Googled Ita's Restaurant, and discovered there are at least 227 restaurants in Zihuatanejo! No wonder the early morning daily fish market is so important and active. Fundraising seems ubiquitous, a pervasive - even primary - human activity, and I sometimes wonder what would happen if all fundraising efforts suddenly stopped, leaving everything entirely to conscience, relational influence and supernatural impulse. I would love to know how God feels about the subject, and whether or not this world-wide practice interferes with faith. Maybe someday He will talk about it. Love the last paragraph in today's post: "There has been a lot of support for the Home and we have individuals going out daily to help with cleaning, food prep, repairs and of course the remodel of the kitchen. When it involves kids, it seems that many have a heart that simply wants to help."
