We are not only sprinting to the end, we are on a dead run! William is one of the remarkable people we have met lately. Notice how he must sit almost doubled over in the front seat in class. He sits near the front because his hearing is not good. It would be wonderful for him to have a set of hearing aids, but those kinds of things are not for the average person in the Philippines. William was given some type of drug when he was younger to slow his growth. Instead of slowing his growth it curved his spine. He has a very difficult time walking and sitting is even a problem. He is amazing.

What a great week!
