Panajachel

Sharon sent me to Tierra Linda with a group lead by Mireille Hanna from Global Legacy Programs. They brought some donations to the school. I was really impressed by the improvements to the school during this past year. This cement entrance did not exist.

The school has a new kindergarten teacher and she is wonderful. She has taught the children a lot and has decorated the classroom with the little resources she has. She uses her own money to buy paper and materials.

Some donations I gave the kindergarten teacher.It made me so happy to see this construction site. Last year, Sharon showed us the land that had been purchased with a donation given by a very generous family from Mayan Families Connection. She told us they had plans to build a middle school for the town and a community center. They did not have any money to start construction so everything was just a dream. Thanks to a group from Canada called Connexions, Tierra Linda will soon have a community center!

Titi helping sort shoes at Mayan Families. Everything is so much more organized than last year. They have built some shelves and they are a great help. I am so happy to see MF grow.

We are staying at Posada Don Rodrigo. Don wanted to feel like he was really on vacation. It is beautiful and we get to see the lake and one volcano from our room.
