Laura and I at the waterfall, Kravice
Our last day of class coincided with Mina's birthday (Mina is second from left). We used this as an opportunity to have a party - we taught the kids to sing "Happy Birthday" in English and talked about celebrations. We gave her a birthday present - we had a few donated school and art supplies left and the entire class got cake. They were so excited and rambunctious because they knew we were having a party, but they all listened while we taught them the song and sang at the top of their lungs.

Adisa, Aldin (our wonderful interpreter and friend), and Adis. Once, Aldin bought a bag of candy for the small children. He was amazed at how many candies Adisa (who is quite skinny) could eat. She bragged that she could eat an entire bag in five minutes. Aldin bought her the biggest bag of candy he could find and she succeeded without even a stomachache.
Zejna is a twin. She has one of the greatest handicaps at the orphanage, while her sister is not special needs. Due to her handicap, Zejna is often overlooked among the older kids. We drew names from a hat for our field trip, and she was chosen. This was wonderful because she was included. She smiled more on the day of the field trip than I had ever seen her smile (except possibly when we took her out for ice cream). I took this picture of her and when I showed her she kept clapping and hugging me and laughing. I think this was the first picture she has ever seen of herself, and in fact I may be the only person who has ever taken her picture.
