Description:
Bath time is a welcome event. For many of the children this is only bath time
because of the lack of facilities in their crowded living quarters. Reuben is
9 months old. Many of the boy babies do not have their hair cut until they
are over a year old, primarily because of a promise made by the mother to
some saint, according to the Roman Catholic belief in Latin American
countries. The presence of Roman Catholic children in the nursery give us a
wonderful opportunity to give witness for the Protestant faith.
