Marie Elande is one of our newest additions to the center. Her mother brought her and her older sister here a couple months ago. She is 7 years old and has a beautiful smile. During church, I always see her swaying back and forth, arms raised to the sky during worship. She reminds me of the kid Pigpen from Peanuts because I swear this child cannot keep clean for more than a few minutes. During English class she always sings the loudest and is improving her vocabulary every day. She struggles to remember all the colors but she definitely knows all the shapes. When she first started English class she could not write her own name. Now she puts her signature ‘Ma’ on all her work. I work with her on tracing letters almost every day so hopefully she will be able to write her name with ease soon.
