Our Sponsor Student in Guatemala...

Here are two updated pictures of Maria Elena. Isn't she cute?! My friend Pattie and I have sponsored her for almost two years now and it is fun to watch her develop and grow into a beautiful young girl. I do use the word "fun" lightly because Maria Elena has a hard life in the viilages of Guat but at least she is attending school. The below pics are of her showing off her report card and receiving her new shoes that we sent her.

If anyone is interested in sponsoring a student so that he/she can go to school and receive food baskets, please visit a group I am a part of called www.mayanfamilies.org. I know I sound like an infomerical but until you see the poverty and sadness first hand like I have, you will never understand. $5 in Guatemala can feed a child for a week.
