Morelia Road Trip

A reflective moment
Took a two day road trip to Morelia to visit the Orphanage, Irekani, to help with a new website.  Sandra cares for 24 children in a large downtown historic home.  The kids basically run the home and all have their duties and responsibilities.  The home has a music program and I was treated to singing, piano and guitar.  Sandra worked with Jake Miller for a number of years at another orphanage.  The kids still remember Jake and the girls and showed me their pictures.  They all say "Hola".

  1. Wow! What a nice surprise! Sandra is a wonderful person! I remember my first lengthy conversation with her about El Buen Pastor, and how genuinely thoughtful her understanding of the Orphanage's founders was -- their faith, commitment and passion to do God's work to the best of their ability. She had obviously been thinking about this history with keen interest over many years. Really humbling. Since that talk, I've watched Sandra in other contexts, and she's always the same wonderful person. Jake will enjoy reading your post. I'll send him the link.
