Depicting Life in Guatemala
Michelle writes: Have the morning for some computer time. Worked at the homeless shelter two nights. They open the gates at 6 pm., serving 50-75 per night, mostly men with drug and alcohol problems, some elderly women, and a couple of families with children. There is a concrete divider separating the men from the women and families.
Both nights we served soup and atol--a warm drink with milk and maize. This is a facility where you can volunteer with limited language skills, so we smile a lot! Alexander is happy to converse with me, as we both have a limited knowledge of the other’s language. They are very gracious as I stumble along.
Maybe there will be some other folks who will volunteer at God’s Child or just come experience this culture. I’m loving it, can you tell?
