Guatemala,Tuesday, July 16, 2013

Day 2 at the Center seemed to stay on schedule much better than yesterday.  It was very obvious that the team members were more familiar with their tasks and the children continued to warm-up to each of the team members assigned to their groups.

Jeremiah, the little boy that was admitted to the Center last week, began showing significant improvement yesterday and today.  He drank two bottles of milk at one point, and he is even beginning to respond to the people and things around him.  It is truly awesome to see a child make improvements.

Ellie, one of the team members, was able to cut several of the babies’ hair and spend some time with them.  It was an interesting experience to say the least.

This afternoon at the Center, there was a birthday party for a little girl by the name of Madelyn.  She is one of the children that was previously in the Center but has since returned home.  The children were given cake and ice cream, and they got to take turns hitting a piñata and grabbing the candy after it was broken. 

It was amazing to see that there is hope at the end of this long journey for these precious children, and that with the guiding hands of Christ we can make a difference in these children’s lives.
