I decided to write this in English so friends of Happy Life Children's Home can also read this.
This is Alica. I saw her picture on the blog few days before our trip started. That is the first picture here, Alisha and her sad face. She had only been at Happy Life for few days but a month in a hospital after being found with severe malnutrition. So at that point the sad face was her only expression.
When we first saw her, the night we arrived, she was so unhappy and insecure. And my sister got attached to her from that moment. And Alica got attached to my sister at the same moment.
No one was aloud to hold her when Hafdís was around, and she was only supposed to hold her and no other baby.
After some days we started to see her smile and then got to hear her laughter. She started to play a game where she blinked her eyes and we did it back and then she smiled with her pretty happy face
As the weeks went by she got happier and less insecure. And when we left she was as happy as all the other babies at Happy Life.
Alica has scars on her face and body, and no one really knows what that baby girl has been through before she was rescued. But seeing how much it did for her to be in a good home and feel the love and trust is just so amazing! And to see the love and friendship Hafdís and Alica developed in just one month is such a blessing for both of them.
