(Adela is the on the left. She is the oldest in her family.)
I will be posting about our Christmas craziness later today but wanted to really do a post about a very special girl who has touched our hearts greatly. We sponsor a student to go to school in Guatemala through
Mayan Families. I love knowing we are helping a young girl get her education. Young girls tend to drop out of school b/c their families cannot afford to pay for them to attend school and need to help their family with their siblings or making money. I love this organization so much. They make sure we receive updated pictures of her all the time. We also get letters, pictures she draws for us and her report cards so we can keep up with her progress. She asked us to send a letter & pictures which I am working on now. We did a garage sale this summer and used the money to buy her an onvil stove (alot of families cook over fires which is very dangerous) and some baby chicks. It was such a sight seeing her smile in those pictures after receiving both. If any of you would like to help just one child, just one family please consider donating to
Mayan Families.
