Pool Party

Giggles and laughter were the main sound heard at Susan’s Porterville home where the children and adults were having a pool party. A bounce house and a in ground pool were the main attractions in the home’s spacious backyard. Parents, volunteers, and children came with their bathing suits on, ready to have a good time swimming.

A bounce house was rented for the kids enjoyment, and the theme was Spiderman, which was a favorite of the boys. Around lunch time, 20 pizzas of all different variations was delivered by Domino’s. Watermelon, pizza, chips, drinks, and baked goods were set up on several tables where the kids chose what they wanted.

They were hungry after a couple hours of swimming. The caretaker was giving the orphans, who had never swam before, swimming lessons. Many of them picked it up right away. A diving rock at the deep end of the pool was the highlight for older kids who did dives, and somersaults into the water. After hours and hours of swimming, the children got tired and people started heading home.
