Sonrisas de Oro

Shekina the happier girl.

Benditos niños los cuales me enseñan infinidad de lecciones, maravillosas criaturas sursudanesas que me enseñan a amar sin reservas, ángeles hermosos que sonríen aun en medio de problemas.

Blessed children who teach me countless lessons, wonderful South Sudanese creatures who teach me to love without reservation, beautiful angels who smile even in the midst of trouble.

Sonrisas que marcan el alma, cuando sus labios pronuncian estoy bien y veo a su alrededor me palpita tan fuerte el corazón y entiendo que no es que tanto tienes para ser feliz sino que tanto valoras lo que tienes y eres feliz.

Smiles that mark the soul, when their lips pronounced I’m fine, and I see their situation around, I understand that it doesn’t matter how much you have to be happy but what matter is how much you appreciate what you have and be happy with it.
Missionary Max Vásquez Jr. Sharing with Akol and Garang

Pequeñas criaturas que cuando toman tu mano puedes sentir el palpitar de su corazón entregándote toda su confianza.

Little creatures that when they take your hand you can feel the beating of their heart giving you all their trust.

Ángeles del cielo que sin importar lo poco que tengan lo comparten aun con el más desconocido, estrellas del cielo que adoran a su Creador sin absoluta duda de su existencia.

Angels of heaven, no matter how little they have, share it even with the most unknown person, precious jewels that worship their Creator without any doubt of their existence.

Pequeños guerreros que sin importar la situación guardan esperanza de un futuro mejor. Esos son nuestros pequeños y brillantes sursudaneses.

Little warriors who, regardless of the situation, have hope for a better future. Those are our bright little South Sudanese Children.
