So today i recieved a new letter ( below) from my friend Rosa in Guatemala..Rosa is the angel God put in my life to help the precious poor in Guatemala..to look at these beautiful faces in these pictures you can not help but be compassionate and caring.... ... i wish i could fly to Guatemala tomorrow just to give them bigs hugs so they know someone really does care and love them..even though they are strangers.....This letter , just like the others always brings tears...A heart to give.. thats what it takes,, there are so many that do not eat for days, we throw food away......God speaks to the person that is giving.. your heart hears it.. your heart feels it...A heart to give.... Whenever we give to others , we are the ones who gain the most on earth and in heaven. That is the heart of God , He gives and loves to give......
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in." Matthew 25:35
.Hi Doreen, I am again sending you some pictures of the people that I have been sharing these days.
I am sending you some pictures that I couldn’t send you before. As you can see I gave some of the clothes and things that you sent in the box to this family. This is the family of Eliseo, the man who works as a security in my colonia.
I also had the opportunity to share with the Velasquez family in a special event, the graduation of her daughter Wendy. She invited me to be in her test, this is like a kind of research they do before they graduate and she wanted me to be there as a part of her family, representing you. I am sending you some pictures that I tried to take with my cell phone. The same day, I also paid the tuition for Wendy and her sister Silvia Maria, I paid two tuitions to Wendy that was Q250.00 quetzals, and one tuition to her sister, the total of the money that I paid was a Q750.00 quetzal, that is exactly 100 dollars. I also gave 100 quetzals to Silvia because she didn’t have any money to buy food. I prefer to pay the tuition by myself because if I give the money to Silvia, she prefers to spend it in food instead of paying the tuition. If she doesn’t pay the tuition, her children don’t have the right to take the tests at the end of the year. This doesn’t mean that the school is bad making these decisions; they do it because they are already helping Silvia with half of the scholarships for her children.
Then, I have the opportunity to share with Francisco, he is a very humble man who has four children and they live in very poor conditions. I asked them to come to my house and I gave them some food that I bought in the store. They were so happy to receive them. I told them that I wasn’t the one who was giving them the food, that the person who is sending money to buy them is you and the only thing that you are asking from them is to keep you and your family in their prayers.
On the other hand where I work at the school, I already paid the tuition of one of the girls, Laura Fabiola García Flores, I paid her tuition until September. I paid 300 quetzals, because it is 100 quetzals per month. She is the one I told you before that her father abandoned her and other two children because he was drinking too much.
I need to visit another family who needs also help. I still have some money from you and I would like to help them. The school supplies that you asked me to buy with the 50 dollars, I told Espe that I could buy them in Guatemala. I haven’t bought them because the school year here ends in September, but I am going to buy them next month and give it to them in November for next January 2010, when the school starts again.
Thanks so much for all you do with the poor familias here, I am sure they will keep you in their prayers because that’s the only thing they can do for all you do for their families. God bless you for your generosity, love and support.
Rosa Many Blessing to you Rosa for helping me help others.....MUCHO ABRAZOS!!

Doreen, you have been an angel for many people, thanks for having this big heart that goes beyond borders and countries. God bless you for all you do with our Guatemalan families.
what a blessing Rosa is, and what a blessing you are. It is hard NOT to have a heart for the people of Guatemala: they are beautiful and kind and compassionate. Thanks for sharing. Is Rosa a private individual or does she run an assistance organization?
And that is why I totally adore you... you truly 'get it'. Love you! Amy
thanks Gregg. Espe, Gardnia and Amy ....:o)!
Gardenia, you ask if Rosa is a private individual, yes she is. She is my sister who also have a big heart for needy people. She works for a very poor school and it is involved in a scholarship program in Guatemala for kids who cannot afford to go to school. Is not because she is my sister, but she is very honest and really wants to help people in Guatemala. She is happy to do it through Doreen.
