Visiting a sponsored student.

Marta, her son, Isaac, daughter, Anna and their friends, Audrey and Amelia visited their sponsored student Olga. Olga lives above Solola in a very agricultural area. Olga's father is blind and makes a living begging on the streets. Olga often leads him around Panajachel while he is trying to make enough money to feed his family.

There are 9 people living in this little house. It has no windows or doors. They do not have enough beds, the roof has holes in it and will start leaking badly in the wet season. The dirt floor will then turn to mud.
Olga and her family were thrilled by the gifts that their sponsors brought them, soaps, shampoos, blankets, umbrellas, flashlights, pillows, toys, all sorts of wonderful things.
Olga and her family will soon have an even better surprise as Marta and her group want to put in windows and doors so it is not so cold for the family.

If you would like to sponsor a student ...please go to this link....
We have lots of children who are waiting and hoping to have a sponsor.
