So many of you donate clothing, shoes and toys for which we are so
grateful.
Your donations get
to Guatemala different ways. Some of you take them down yourselves and
some of you ship them to us. If they are shipped to us we store them
until one of two things happens; 1) we pay for a container to go
down--we drive everything to PA and load it up, it gets delivered to
Guatemala; or 2) some of us travel down. Then we only take what we need
in our carry ones and bring two large suitcases full of donations
each.
I'm not sure how many of you realized how much your donations are
appreciated by those who receive them in Guatemala. Dominga (who runs the house in Guatemala) has a schedule for distribution. She always knows who needs what and when. She knows each family and their children. She has everything organized in her little "tienda" and when it is their turns the moms come gather what they need for their family.

Dominga also sets aside the new and like new newborn clothing and creates a gift for each mother bringing home a new baby complete with homemade hats, blankets, mittens and clothing.
So from them to you--Thank you!
