Carlos and Titi swam at the hotel for a while, then we walked around town. It was fun seeing again places and people we knew. Things have changed too. The kids loved feeding the stray dogs and Titi even played soccer in the street.
On the way back, I saw Vanessa and her kids walking in the street! It was fun talking to her and meeting her in person. Her kids are great. She was leaving the next day but she was hoping to come back and stay for 3 months. I am sure she will do it, she always does what she puts her mind to.
On Monday we went to the new offices of Mayan Families. Sharon introduced us to all the people working there. What a change from the first time we visited. Back then, there was only one computer that Sharon and Sandra shared. Now there are many computers and lots of people working on different projects.
I saw Claudia from San Jorge working. She is calling students and asking them to bring their birth certificates to collect and verify birthdates.
Amelia was handing out donations. She has been sorting all the donations received in the Medrano boxes. Since they do not have a lot of space in the new place, they still have a lot of stuff at Sharon's house. She looked well.
I also saw some sponsored students I had met before. This family is from Tierra Linda. They had brought their report cards and received shoes and clothes. The mother told me their house had been damage during the storm. Some of the tin sheets in their roof were broken by rocks that fell on them. Juan is going to take pictures and see how much it would cost to repair them.
The mother of these students has a skin infection on her arms and neck. She says it is very itchy. I think it is scabies. I offered to pay for her to go to the doctor. I cannot stand the thought of her having to endure the itch.
