Lessons in Guatemala - Monday


 On Monday, we went to the school to teach lessons to the children, do medical checkups and to teach the ladies of the church how to sew.  The children were taught a lesson on the book the Lorax - about how you have to replant to keep life going.  They did a craft on the "truffala" trees and then we had a craft on sewing buttons and beads on oak leaves.  The leaves are going to be used on a banner that is being made for the church.  We are trying to teach the children that they are Oaks of Righteousness according to Isaiah 61.  A medical clinic was conducted to take the children's weight and height and to determine if they needed further medical assistance.   

A total of eight ladies from the church attended the sewing class.  We had a devotion and then taught them the basics of the sewing machine and sewing in general.  It was amazing to watch them learn something that can change their life and their families lives forever.  If the ladies learn a trade (from sewing) they will be able to help support their family.  Most of the ladies picked up on the sewing pretty quickly.   

We had a great day with the kids and the people from the church!

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!
