Today we continued going through the list of items to be accomplished on this trip. Had a short meeting with kids and parents in the new English program . They are so excited. Met a sad boy of 14 years old today. He lives with his mom in a tiny ( size of a car) house of random wood she collected. He left to try to make money to help his mom and ended up getting hurt and not getting paid for working for two weeks. He is 14 and his father died within the last 2 years. He is trying hard to finish school but is still at 2nd grade level. Our Guatemalan staff rose to the task and have taken him under their wing. They will begin tutoring him and helping find odd jobs around the clinic so he and his mom can eat everyday.
