Ever wondered about about this new-fangled, crowd-sourced funding business that all the young hipsters are talking about these days?
Or.
Have you ever wondered how accordian/guitar playing wretches with the remaining ink barely even visible on their hands anymore could make a whole bunch of kids happy, not to mention healthy.
Well....
Meet the children of Angelitos Felices!

Felices... made me think José Feliciano
Thanks.
Jody's up there right now. She took a bunch of bologna sandwiches - mortadella, they call it here - and some underwear for the older gals, and they were all going to hang out in the sort-of park nearby.
Latest big change is a washing machine, delivered Friday and bought locally. People here mostly do wash by hand - we do - but for 20-plus kids it's hard. Between the showers and the washer, life will be way more pleasant and the kids already don't have what I used to think of as the orphanage smell. That couldn't have been good at school.
Next, painting the incredibly dingy walls and then tile on the floor.
Meanwhile, a great young woman has started an alternative day care here which she hopes to grow into a foster care/orphan home too. She's pretty impressive - see www.casitacopan.org

That's so great Paul.
Thanks for the update, and the link.
