Team 1 - Day 1 First day of renovation





Today, our first team got their hands dirty with some demolition work at Iglesia and Casita Adonai.  It was very rewarding to see the first steps taken toward this long-awaited renovation.  
 
Since the construction zone is also a school zone, we needed to take measures to keep the kids away from the work.  Part of our task was to construct a temporary enclosure around the steps from the upper classrooms to the lower ones.  In the interest of resourcefulness, we used wood from some old, worn out pews to build the temporary walls.

Partnership is at the heart of what we do at Caroline's Promise, and that was evident today as our team members worked side-by-side with our Guatemalan friends. Language barriers and cultural differences are of little consequence ​when serving God and his people are the focus.

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 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!
