Guatemalan Tots Die from Malnutrition

http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/health/2012/09/08/5-guatemala-tots-die-malnutrition-in-2012/   and these are only the deaths reported ....so many other children die and their deaths are never reported.  Thank you for everyone who can send even a little food...it helps so much.   So many mothers have told me that they share one egg between 3- 4 children every day.

Children of El Barranco

The children at El Barranco pre school were so excited to get this big
box of toys to play with !   Thank you so much to the very kind person
who sent them!

Odilla

Every year students who are in 11th and 12th grade have to do a process called a "practica",  Which means that you have to go and work at a local business, school, hospital etc getting practical experience in the work world. The placement is about two months.


We have discussed this before that this places pressure on students and families...  They need to have a special outfit to be able to participate in this process. 
They have to have bus fares etc to be able to get back and forth from where they are placed and they often cannot do the work they do before or after school because this is a full time position.  This causes a lot of stress on the family as many of the students work part time to be able to cover their extra costs of transportation, lunch and extra school requirements.

One of our students, Odilla, approx. 17 years old, is doing her placement at a local school.
She was brought to the offices last week because she fainted at the school. When she revived the director of the school questioned her about what could have caused this and Odilla started sobbing.
We got her medical attention and the doctor said that the only problem with Odilla was stress and depression. He suggested that we give her anti anxiety tablets to help her overcome her depression.
But we felt that the cause of this depression was something that could be alleviated with help.  So we refused to get the prescription but we are now trying to help Odilla with her situation.

Odilla is one of 12 people living in 2 rooms.
She is the oldest girl but she has several older brothers who have not studied.
They have been very critical of the time that Odilla is taking to study when they feel she should be working around the house.
When she goes to the internet store to do her homework , they accuse her of running out to meet boys....which we have investigated and feel confident that she is not doing this.
They have gone so far as to make sure that on the nights that Odilla has to do homework...which is really every night, they refuse to let the mother give her dinner.
Unfortunately,in this society ..the older brothers have the right to make decisions about the family and the household.   There is no father in this home.

One of the problems that was facing Odilla at this time, was that she did not have the money to buy the materials she needed to be able to do a project for school. She needed to turn this project in or else she would lose points from her final exams.   She was very stressed as to how to manage this with no money , and not being able to work. We were able to solve that problem for her immediately and gave her the materials that she needed.


Now this family is very poor, they really do not have enough to eat.
When I asked Odilla what she would eat for breakfast she told me a tortilla and  a black coffee....( the coffee that the indigenous people drink is black and very sweet and it is also very, very mild.) ....for lunch ...she doesn't  have any money to bring with her to eat lunch so she goes without till she goes home.
With her brothers often refusing to let her mother give her anything to eat....Odilla's health is really suffering. She is very thin.
Odilla told me that her mother often minds a little food for her and gives it to her when her brothers are not around. But there are nights when she doesn't get to eat.


Odilla's mother is very supportive of her studies and wants her daughter to succeed.
Three weeks ago , Odilla had to miss a week of school because she does not have the bus fare to be able to leave her village of San Andres and come to Panajachel where her school is located.
This is a young girl who is very stressed, very sad and very hungry but who is determined to get ahead in her life.
She works after school washing dishes so that she can make some money to pay for her bus fares and her extra school costs and give a little to her mother.
But now that she is doing her practical experience at a local school, she cannot work in the afternoons and does not have this extra money.
She is studying to become a teacher.
She said that she is going to be so happy when she graduates as a teacher and can help support her mother ...and can show her brothers that she was not wasting time.
But she has a long way to go .

Her sponsor is not able to help her anymore than he is already doing with her studies.

But we need help to be able to feed Odilla. We have told her that she can come to the Mayan Families office every day and have lunch with the Elderly Care and Orphan Care program...but we need a sponsor for Odilla.   $28  a month will pay for her to have lunch 5 days a week  for the whole month.
$10  will give Odilla her bus fares for a week so that she won't have to miss any more school.
Any amount would help her to have some food at home.  If she is bringing in some food to the family home, then the brothers cannot stop her from eating.
If you can possibly help Odilla ...  she would be so grateful.

Children's Day in Guatemala

Children's Day in Guatemala is celebrated on October 1st. 
It is a big occasion and getting bigger every year.
The local council is holding a big party for children in front of their offices.
They will have pinatas and entertainment.
They have been collecting money and goods from different business and organizations.
Mayan Families has  donated one pinata to them.
Today our pre school in Panajachel is celebrating with their fiesta. 
They have chuchitos and Jello in little bags.
They will all be receiving a little stuffed toy to celebrate Children's Day....thank goodness for Beanie Babies!!!!
We are also having all the children in our Orphan program at the office today.
They will be receiving clothes, shoes , underwear  socks, toothpaste and toothbrushes.
Thank you to everyone who sends these goods so that we are able to give these much needed items to these children.
The children are also seeing the doctor and receiving vitamins. 
We have found that many of the children in the program....need help with food.  If you would like to donate a bag of food....just $10 will make a difference to these children, we can give it out to them today.
Thanks, 
Sharon

Longer lasting water filters

Hi, we now have access to a new water filter that has been tested and the results have been excellent.
This water filter supposedly will last for 10 years!!!!!!!!!!!!
This new water filter, which is called a Sawyer filter,  will cost $96 US. for us to distribute to families.
If you would like to give one of these water filters to your family, we have them available now.
Now I think, even if these filters last 5 years , they are a great advantage to the families who receive them.
The only thing that the family will need is a small table to put have these filters. Many of our families do not have a table or somewhere to put them.
A small table will cost $18 .....they are a small table that we will make so that they will be able to hold the water filters.
You can give a water filter without a table ....but it is very important that the family has somewhere to keep the water filter so it is not touching the ground.

Shoes

These are some of the shoes that children were wearing when they came to our office today! Their sister who is the sponsored child in the family came to ask for shoes for her brothers but said that would be fine without them. But we told her that she also needed a pair. Such a sweet girl who did not want to ask for too much. Sharon Sharon Smart-Poage MAYAN FAMILIES a registered 501.(c).(3) Non Profit Charity www.mayanfamilies.org

Sandra from San Antonio Palopo

Sandra from San Antonio Palopo lived in a very dark house. She doesn't
have electricity connected.
She was thrilled to receive a "liter of light" to have in her house.
This is a soda bottle half filled with water and bleach.
When installed in the roof, the natural light pours into the dark room
and lights it up.....for free!!!!
As you can see from Sandra's face she was very excited to see this!

Young Family

Hi, I want to let you know what has been happening with the young family.

First off, the young mother , who I thought was around 19 years old ...is only 16 years old and she will be giving birth next month to her second child.
We have been making sure that they get three meals a day.
We have been supplying the baby with diapers and with clothing.
Thanks to a wonderful donation , the family was able to receive a bed....which makes it a lot better for them rather than sleeping on a cement floor.
They also are no longer homeless!!!!  They now live in a room....the room was empty but it now has a bed!!!
They will be receiving a small stove tomorrow so that they can now cook their own meals.
We will be , thanks to your donations, be able to give them food to take home to cook with.
We also have been able to find a very small part time job for the young man.  
Just a reminder - both these young people are orphans. The young mother was an only child...her mother passed away, her father had left when the mother was pregnant....and the extended family appears not to exist.
The young man, 22 years old...is also an orphan now. His mother died earlier this year. His father died many years ago. He receives no help from his extended family...so they really are alone in the world.
Also the young man is being sponsored to start carpentry classes.
So thanks to you ...this is one amazing group of people...this young couple and their very young child ...and unborn child....have a much better life right now and hopefully, they will be able to move ahead and get themselves on their feet.
with deep thanks,
Sharon

Ana Maria

Hi Everyone,

Ana Maria has suddenly become the single mother of a seven month old boy, Marlon Alexander. After a year and a half of marriage, her husband left her a month ago and has offered no help to the family since. His mother on occasion comes by the house to see the baby, but gives no financial assistance to the struggling young mom. She has been left alone, with no way to feed herself or her little boy.

After her baby was born, the problems began. Complications during the delivery left Ana Maria unable to breastfeed her son, putting an economic strain on the already troubled couple. Milk is a luxury item that most families in Guatemala cannot afford to buy. The child also suffered from pneumonia for the first few months of life, adding further stress to the tormented new mother. Ana Maria was constantly worried for her baby's health and her husband provided no emotional support, often becoming very cold and distant with his wife and child. Months of fighting and unhappiness culminated with him leaving without an explanation or the intention of feeding his son.

Ana Maria now has to worry about how she is going to raise her child alone. Not only does she need to feed her baby and herself, she also needs to pay for the rent. At $100 a month, with no means of earning money and no family to help, she has no idea how she will continue to pay her housing. She is afraid she and her son will end up on the streets. She would like to work, but unfortunately does not know what she can do.

For more information on how to help Ana Maria and her son, please visit:

Juana, a new member of our Elderly Care program

Hi Everyone,
, suffers from constant migraines. She was hit by a motorcycle earlier this year, leaving her with lesions on her feet and face. Despite being taken to the health center and receiving care after the accident she still experiences debilitating headaches. She needs to take her medicine or the pain is excruciating.

Unfortunately, the little money she makes cleaning her neighbors house is not enough to cover the cost of the medicine, which is about $24 a month in addition to her rent, which is about $25 a month. She has four grown children who are unable to offer any support because of their own family costs: one is diabetic and has 14 children of her own, two others with 7 children each, and a son who has fallen out of contact. She separated from her husband about 35 years ago because of his drinking problem. She lives alone in a house without a water filter, chairs, a table or a closet for her clothes.

Like most of the other elderly in our program, Juana has worked her whole life to afford what little she has. After having dedicated her life to raising her children on her own, Juana deserves the same care in her time of need. However, the impoverished state of her family disallows them from returning her years of attention and care. She humbly eats her meals in her bed, the only piece of furniture she owns.

She is most in need of food and medicine. If you would like to help For more information on how to help Juana cover the costs of the food and medicine she desperately needs, please visit:
