I invite you to visit their website. My second cousin is in slide 19 of the center's slideshow with three of her students.

My second-cousin loves Chicago and enjoys working with children. I admire her very much and am in awe of her faith and positive energy. Beth, I am proud of you and of your co-workers. You make faith and love come alive. Here is my modest attempt to honor your tremendous devotion and spirit: Faith freely chosen a child's smile brightens winter one prayer answered For more on this subject and a wide array of other topics, please visit my weblog.
