Elena at Little Lambs School

Elena has been teaching on Tuesday mornings at ASELSI's Little Lambs of Jesus, a school for mentally and physically handicapped children.  She spends 15 minutes working alone with each of the six children in the class, modifying her lessons depending on their skill level.  This has been a wonderful opportunity for her, and she would like to study special education in college in the future.
Elena with Andrea, one of her students.
She is 14 years old but is autistic and
acts about 4 years old.  See her holding
Elena's fingers, how sweet!
Elena participated in Little Lamb's
Independence Day parade through our
neighborhood.  They had a parade which was
shorter than the town's main parades.
Elena really enjoys working with her special students, and we know God is preparing her for ministering to others in the future as well.
