She came to us from Brazil where she just finished high school. She was thrown into the chaos of COLORS as her first day entailed a car full of 2 homeless puppies, puppy puke, building supplies, crazy people at the gas station wanting to eat the puppies and an impulse purchase of a small pre-school building when a local builder offered it to us half price!  The following weeks were full of building and paint projects plus her daily routine teaching on her own in the pre-schools, as she was our only volunteer for the 1st month of her stay. We will all miss her positivity and willingness to try the unknown.
