The Children's Shelter of Cebu has their own school. It is just a quick walk down the road from the shelter. All of our kids are currently being educated there. When children learn that they will be adopted into a US family, they begin American Studies. They study literature and history and many things that would be pertinent to our country. (Rodrigo was learning about American money the other day!) Here is a picture of a few kids acting out the Boston Tea Party. Roselyn is in the back of the boat on the right. It's pretty cute, I think. Last Sunday night we asked Romeo what he was studying this week. He had a blank look on his face, shrugged his shoulders and looked up at his teacher. "What are we studying, Teacher Tammy???" It made us laugh...and know for sure that he is a pretty typical 11-year-old. The answer (by the way) was - Abraham Lincoln. This is really no different than asking me what I had for dinner yesterday. I can usually remember...but only after a few minutes of thinking really hard!
You gotta love the kid though. He had a big smile on his face throughout the entire conversation...and from all reports, seems to be really trying in school. He gets an A+ for attitude.
Here is a picture Roselyn playing Foosball with some kids. She is the one with the blue striped shirt. And, oh...by the way...the little boy next to her sticking his tongue out?? Yep, that's Rodrigo! That's my son!
