Yesterday, the ๐๐พ๐ป ๐๐ช๐ญ๐ ๐ธ๐ฏ ๐๐ธ๐พ๐ป๐ญ๐ฎ๐ผ - ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ณ๐ช๐ท ๐๐ป๐ธ๐น๐ฎ๐ป, gathered for one of the most meaningful and indelible celebration of Flores de Mayo journey. With 72 ๐ฌ๐ค๐ฃ๐๐๐ง๐๐ช๐ก ๐๐ก๐ค๐ง๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐จ ๐๐ค๐๐ฃ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ช๐จ, our culmination was filled with joy, laughter, and precious memories that will forever inculcate in our hearts. The children were delighted in games, prizes, school supplies, food, and gifts, but beyond these simple joys was something greater, and that is the opportunity to grow in faith and experience the love, guidance, and blessings of God and Mama Mary.

๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ for the unwavering support, guidance, and generosity. Your dedication inspired us all to persevere and reminded us that every act of service, no matter how small, becomes extraordinary when done with love.

Third, to ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐
๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐จ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ ๐, thank you for cooking and preparing all the meals for our florestas. Every dish carried your love, and you made sure no child went hungry or unnoticed. The time, effort, and care you put into preparing food for all 72 children may have been behind the scenes, but it filled both stomachs and hearts.
Lastly, to our beloved ๐๐๐ญ๐๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฌ. This celebration is a testament of our sacrifices, patience, commitment, and faith. From the countless hours of preparation, teaching, and service, it brought us to this beautiful moment. Together, we laughed, overcame challenges, and fulfilled our mission. We were not merely neither volunteers or teachers, we became a family united by one purpose.
Yet, as beautiful as this culmination is, it also carries a bittersweet truth. This may be the last time many of us will be together in the same place. Soon, we will be embracing new responsibilities. Albeit, distance may separate us, the memories we created, the friendships we built, and the moments we shared will forever bind our hearts together.
As we close this chapter of Flores de Mayo 2026, we do not say goodbye with sadness, but with gratitude. We thank God for allowing our paths to cross, for giving us the privilege to serve, and for blessing us with friendships that cannot be paid off with any amount.
