I had just enough money left over from our Guatemala trip, to send to Oscar and his family. It was enough for a tuk-tuk ride back to their home from visiting Mayan Families to pick up the tote of goodies. :)
In the beginning of 2008 is when our love for the people of Guatemala began. It all started out by sponsoring one little boy, Marcos and lead to us sponsoring three boys in 2008 so they would have school supplies for school.
Not only did we make a difference in their education, but in their home life. We were able to ensure that all three families have onil stoves and water filters.
We were able to have a cement floor put into Marcos home and we are now raising money to build a home for Oscar.
God lead us into their lives for a purpose.
Patti & her son were able to visit the boys in May of 2008 and will be returning with their whole family again in 2009.
Not only have we been able to make an impact on the three families - but we have begun to reach out to the community.
Patti is now the Ministry Outreach Coordinator and secretary for Guatemalan Harvest.
If it were not for our friends and family, all of the wonderful things we have been able to do would not be possible. Thank you, for helping us help others!
