It's so sad that, while there are lot of factors that contribute to these behaviors, sometimes love and attention go the longest way and make the biggest differences. Even if just in the short run. And these things don't necessarily take all that much effort, they just take someone special like you or Kurt to sacrifice some of their time to do something so wonderful. I used to volunteer at the MD School for the Blind - and while it's very different in alot of ways, some of the same things were always true. It was just special to them to have someone who would read a book to them for an hour or two or play with them for a while. The kids would get SO excited. All week reading your posts I've been really thinking about going back there again. It's been a while...perhaps too long. In any event, glad you didn't get a sunburn and got to relax some today! Enjoy your last day and a half there! Cheers! :-) The lack of personal attention continues to tug at me, Kim.
