Today we met Patti and went up to Sharon's, along with another family who had collected shoes, to help hand out the clothing we had brought down. There were several women with their children already there waiting. The staff set up tables to put out the shoes the other family had brought and they began to hand them out. There were so many there, so while doing the shoes, because we had a few pairs of very small boys shoes they started handing out the items we had brought also. Once they had went through the sizes and giving the children's clothing out to some of the mom's with babies, they started putting things out on the table and the women started looking through the items to find things in the sizes they needed. Blankets were very much needed and they went quickly. I did get some pictures at Sharon's as well.
After our visit to Sharon's, we headed back into town, had lunch and waited for the driver who was to bring us back to Guatemala City.
I haven't been able to dig out my camera yet so will upload the pictures from our experience tomorrow.
I have to say again this was a great experience; we have been so greatly blessed by being given the opportunity to come here. Anyone thinking of coming to Guatemala to do some type of service trip, should come; you can't imagine what a wonderful experience it is to meet the people and help in some way. God truly blessed us this week.
