Alicha

I'm having serious writer's block with my blog, lately. I've got into a steady routine now. Its just working with the kids and doing the same things every day. It's not that its ever boring, but sometimes there is not much to talk about.
Oh I know! I'll tell you about a little girl I've fallen in love with. Her name is Alicha. She is three years old and the sweetest baby you have ever seen in your life! There is many children around me that I love, but I could seriously adopt this one if it were possible. I don't know why she is so different to me. We just connected some how. She always comes and sits with me during church. Many times when I am teaching a class I'll look over and she'll be standing at the door waving at me. I can't figure out how she keeps sneaking out of class to find me. Every time I bring her back the teachers looking at me like, "How in the world did she get out again?".
I found out her story the other day. He mother has two children by two different men. Neither one of them help her at all. She has no job and no education. She is living with her mother, but recently her mother told her she wants her to move. She has no where to live with her babies. I don't know what to do. I want to help her, but I don't know how. One of my Haitian friends told me today that if I asked her for Alicha she would give her to me. That made me so sad. I know her mother loves her very much she just can't afford to take care of her. I wish I could do more. I wish I could take care of all three of them.
I worry about Alicha all the time. She is in my school so I know she gets at least one plate of rice everyday. But I don't know what she's eating on the weekends. She's always very quiet in the mornings. I thought it was because she was still half asleep when she came to school. However, I've noticed lately that her mood changes drastically after snack time. Maybe she's not tired. Maybe she's hungry. 
Please, pray with me. Pray that God will give me a solution. He knows the best way to help this family. I'm praying that he can use me to help them.
