Many of you will remember the story of Bruno. His mama, a neighbor of Urukundo, died of covid just hours after his birth. His grandmother was left with an infant she could not care for.
Urukundo, being a good neighbor, stepped up to help the grandmother care for this precious baby boy. Adeline, secretary at the Learning Center and a close neighbor, became a foster parent. Our daycare provided a safe place for him to be during the day while she worked.
Josie O'Reilly, a teacher volunteering at Urukundo from a school in China, the Chinese International School, met Bruno and fell in love with him. She became his support person. It does take a village. That was three years ago.
Now three years later, Bruno had his first day in baby class at preschool. Not a happy camper.
Finding his daycare buddy Ethan made the transition a little better. Good to have a friend.
