Birthday Bashes

























Every month at the soup kitchen, we celebrate all the kids birthday for that month. Birthdays aren't celebrated here in Ecuador like they are in the U.S. - in fact, a large majority of kids don't even know their birthdays or their age. We have to ask them to bring in their birth certificate so we can tell them. Imagine that! So, we try to make it a special day for them by having cake, games, and prizes.
