A story to share

Hey everyone! Yesterday was a day for relaxation at the beach. I thought I wouldn´t need to blog, but there is a little boy that we came across whose story I´d like to share:

I don´t know his name, but the boy was nine years old. He was walking around the beach trying to sell oranges. His mother died two years ago in a hurricane and it sounds like the father is not involved in his life. He and his two brothers live together with no parents. The head of the household is his older brother who is 14 years old. They have a younger brother that is three years old. He was told that he must sell all of the oranges he had before he could play. So Ariadna, being the good hearted person she is, bought the rest of his oranges. She offered him food and he ate immediately. He was very hungry and tired. This occurred in the late afternoon and he had probably been working since morning. Afterwards, he was running around and playing with Ronald (Ariadna´s youngest son). He was so happy! Yesterday is probably a day he will remember for a very long time.

Talk to you later,

Ann
