March 6, 2014 A trip to a rural town outside of Guatemala City to distribute more School kits

Thursday March 6, we accompanied Julio Alvarado to a rural town outside of Guatemala City.  The school has 600 pupils in attendance.  One of the teachers heard about the Church and the Radio Station Emisora Unidos partnering in distributing school kits to school´s where families cannot afford the notebooks, paper, and other items needed for learning and contacted Julio requesting the help of these organizations.  It was arranged and the following pictures says it all.

This young lad is 18 years old and is a Down´s child who had heart surgery 5 years ago.  He is known for being very loving and helpful. He had to hug us several times while we were visiting here.

 We visited class rooms and took pictures. This one shows everyone's faces and packets in the air. They were delighted.
