Today was the last morning shift to work in Nutre Hogar and the Milwaukee group loved the opportunity to see the kids, feed them their morning snack, and play with the babies they've grown so attached to these last couple of days.

While most of the Milwaukee group stayed at Nutre Hogar, Carly, Theresa and I had the opportunity to visit Ofrece un Hogar (Offer a Home). Ofrece un Hogar is an orphanage where the children (usually from Nutre Hogar) who have been abandoned wait to be adopted.
