Carlos and Titi's project

On Saturday, Don showed Titi the video of Claudia's Story and she cried.  She immediately asked to use the computer to make a brochure asking people to help Claudia and Mayan Families.  She has been working on it since then.  Today I showed the video to Carlos and again, without me having to say a word, he said "we need to send this to everybody we know, they need to help Claudia!".  He is not very involved in our work with Mayan Families but today he decided to do something.  He immediately asked if I could print pictures to make a board and ask for donations.  He said he wanted to post it on Facebook.  Only Titi got a chance to do it but we will post it in his page too.

I am really happy to see them wanting to do something for sweet Claudia.

Claudia's Story

I have seen this video before but today I am feeling very helpless.  It is a very touching video filmed by two Mayan Families volunteers and it tells the story of Claudia, a girl who lives in San Jorge La Laguna.  I have been there and gone to many houses like Claudia's. I wish I could do more to help children like her.  I am sure I could do more, I just need to try harder.
