She talks about how she first heard about the project and the support she received from her father's family. Lilibet discusses the difference in religious beliefs and the family model at the project compared to her previous home. She also shares her journey of forgiveness towards her parents and the healing power of forgiveness. Lilibet's sisters also had different experiences at the project, but they all found happiness and stability in their new homes. The James Project had a profound impact on the lives of Lilibet and her sisters, providing them with a childhood free from distress and allowing them to be children. Lilibet and her sisters stayed with the project through Casa Magdalena and received support to pursue their education. Lilibet's sisters are now married and living happy lives, and they all maintain contact with Papi Hugo and Mami Maritza. Lilibet emphasizes the importance of visitors and sponsors in providing not only material support but also love and the opportunity to dream of a better future.

She believes that the legacy of the James Project is teaching that there is a God of love, that every child is valuable, and that we can be better people by reflecting God's love through our actions.
