Cleaning Day

By Katie

Today the front porch gang collectively declared they were going to clean my front porch. A few of the girls had been cooking this up over the past few days and were determined to put it into action today. So, after I dismissed most of the kids, the five most regulars asked for a broom, soapy water, sponges and rags so they could clean the walls and window. Of course I complied. It's not every day that someone wants to clean for you! They wouldn't even stop to look at the camera when I got it out. When it was all done, I thanked them very sincerely. Zeydi (the girl with the broom) said, "Well, you teach us everyday, so..." Their actions mean a lot to me.
