Tamale Baskets in Guatemala


















Thanks to the generosity of so many people we are able to distribute baskets of food to so many families in need.


These baskets have the ingredients to make tamales for Christmas Eve. The traditional meal in Guatemala.

On the 23rd, today, we distribute the meat to all the people who have received the baskets.

We can't give it to them at the same time as the baskets because these families do not have access to refrigeration.

These are some of the families that have received baskets.

Some of them are sponsored students, some are families who really need the help with food.

Because of the rain and the very cold weather, most of the mothers left their children at home.

But these are all women who have several children at home and many of them are single mothers.
Without your help, they would not have enough food to celebrate Christmas.
