Whoops, I have a blog! Ok, here goes: Guatemala Continued:
On Wednesday, Yi-Hsin and I set out to visit Maria, who I sponsor through Children International. We toured the Children International facilities in Patulul, then visited Maria's home (where I got to help feed the chickens!) and had dinner at a restaurant where we got to catch our own fish in a barrel :-)
Maria is 16 now, studying accounting part time. She also helps her mother out at home, and has just started to work at a shoe and clothing store part time.
Thanks to Children International for helping to facilitate the day. They provided a translator who helped out when my Spanish reached its limits, as well as setting up logistics for the day. I'm already looking forward to my next trip!
