A Poet Among Us









We were blessed to have Hannah on our team. She was not only an amazing translator but we quickly learned that she is a poet! Hannah wrote several poems while we were in Guatemala. We’re happy to share two of them with you.


G – giving simple gifts from our hearts

U – unreal is the experience we go through together

A – actuality and reality of people’s situations never completely settling in our minds

T – taken for granted the blessings we rarely share

E – everlasting thoughts of return

M – memorable vegetation that thrives on the sharp inclines of hills

A – although McDonald’s is still the same

L – lots of other things bring hopelessness and pain

A – Abba our Father working in mysterious ways everywhere

Faces unable to be described

Young souls who have seen so many who have died

If I had said I knew their pain, I would have lied.

The sight makes most want to go and hide.

So many have cried.

No shape or form to grasp

Something must be done at last.

And although so many say it is too much of a task

God has said to throw down our flask

And not hide behind our mask

Where are they now? Sthefany

Hello, my name is Sthefany.   I am 16 years old and am currently in the 4th year of high school in Biological Sciences.  First of all I want to thank the Groves Family who sponsored me during my primary school period because thanks to them I was able to complete primary school.  I am also very grateful because although I did not meet my sponsors, I appreciated them very much for the support and help they contributed in my life.   It was a great blessing that Caroline's Promise can contribute great things in the life of a person.  The experience I had was totally great. I got to know places thanks to them and they also showed me their love through letters (letters that I still have), gifts and financial aid. I would really like to meet and know how my sponsors are and meet them in person and thank them personally.   And well, I think that these kinds of experiences make you grow as a person in all aspects and how wonderful that those kinds of people exist, s...

Where are they now? Cesy Samayoa

  Cesy, translating for Kaitlyn Our friend Cesy was too old to be in our child sponsorship program when we met her, but she definitely benefited from the program because two of her siblings were sponsored consistently.  And we benefited from knowing Cesy!  For years she would translate for our special programs.  I remember speaking to a group of moms years ago and Cesy translated for me.  She stayed for hours after the talk to help me minister to women.  One of those women had concerns about her son who clearly showed signs of ADHD.  Cesy helped me find natural ways to address his inattention and lack of focus and a year later that same Mom shared how Cesy's suggestions had helped! Cesy, we know how hard you have worked and we are incredibly proud of you!  Thank you for being a beautiful example to young women everywhere!
