I promised to send you pictures of last week's work, so here they are! With the help of 3 men sent by the La Conner Rotary Club in Washington State, we had the privilege of building a home for Claudia Saquiel and her 3 children. What a blessing for her. 12 needy families in the community were visited with bags of groceries, bringing aid to their suffering. We worked with the La Conner Club to bring 50 wheelchairs and other medical equipment to Guatemala City.
We were excited to be able to put in a small wood burning cookstove for her as well. These stoves come complete, with the smoke being piped out, a drastic need for woman like Claudia who cook over open fires in a closed in kitchen shelter - often plastic or cornstalk.
