Jeremiah, Anna, and I (Gerri) got to go for a visit to FANA today. David and Daniel stayed "home" with Gabi. (They will get to go on the tour another time.) FANA is the institution that Gabriela lived in for the first 3 years of her life. It seemed much like a school building to us. There were many rooms, with many women, babies, and children all busy with their daily activities of life. We got to see where Gabriela spent her days and meet the women who cared for her so well. We could see that there has been much effort to promote the well-being of children here and how support from Friends of FANA Minnesota, over the years, has done so much! There were many hugs and tears as we thanked everyone and promised to do our best to love and care for Gabi.
This is a view from the back of the building.
This is one of the girl's rooms. This picture shows half of the cribs in the room.
There are rooms on the other side for boys.
One of these beds was probably Gabriela's!
This is where daily showers took place.
The rest of the pictures we took either didn't turn out, or they have children, etc. that can not be posted on our blog. Sorry! We will enjoy showing them to Gabi as she gets older. If you would like to learn more about FANA, you can visit the website at http://www.fundacionfana.org/
