She splashes in the water and giggles with delight. The day is hot and
she loves to swim in the little pool. She turns around in circles and

“What joy she has, how much her life has changed.” Because
two years ago she was wasting away in an orphanage in Eastern Europe,
waiting for the day where she would be transferred to a mental
institution. The place where she would be today – rather than splashing in the pool – because of her disability.
