Ana's Gallery
We really had a great time on with the March 3 thru 9, 2007 group, and, again, there were so many firsts to celebrate. We had five sisters (three from one family and two from another), and the Focus staff thought it brought an immediate closeness to the group...a connection we hadn't noticed with other groups. This group seemed to bond almost immediately.
On the last night at La Tasca, Ana wanted to have her picture taken with everybody, and you'll see that when anyone takes a picture with Ana, they have the BIGGEST smiles on their faces! It's true...she is one of the brightest spots in Mexico, maybe even on this planet! She's a joy to be around and considers everyone on a group her personal property...to be cared for and cherished. She even treats the Focus staff that way if the truth be told. I feel as if I've always known Ana...that she's a member of my family. And, let me add, Ana's whole family is the same way.
After meeting her mother, and brothers and sisters, I asked Christina (Ana's mother) if she would adopt me. She simply asked, "Where do I sign?" It was definitely an ah-h-h-h-h moment!
Also in Ana's Gallery, you'll see the picture of DeAlonna Kirk giving Ana the hat she wore throughout our day trips to protect her from the sun. Ana was speechless. That's why part of the pictures are with the hat and part without. And, just for the heck of it, I've included pictures from other groups that will definitely give you a beautiful view of the Program Director we all love to love!
Since this is the first posting of this gallery, we apologize to past groups whose special moments with Ana are not in the gallery. From time to time as we run across some special pictures, we will be adding more photos to Ana's Gallery. We'll let you know. And if any of our alumni have pictures of special moments with with Ana, they would like to share, please send them along.
