Ingrid

Chelsea Wait, a senior at Spaulding High School, has this to say about her photograph:
"Ingrid is unlike any child I’ve ever met. She is a 2-and-1/2-year-old that lives in an orphanage in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Old burn marks and scars line her small, chubby arms and legs, but her face is untouched, delicate and beautiful. Ingrid already has an issue with the world. She frequently cries, throws fits and acts out. Still, it’s impossible to ignore her charm and spirit. Once you’ve proved yourself to her, Ingrid will love you no matter what. Her rare smiles will melt your heart, and her hugs will convey all that her young mind can not yet form in words. Despite the rages, fits and fights, Ingrid is a beautiful little girl that I will never forget."
