Happy Mother’s Day Rosa

Rosa, with food donation

Rosa became a widow three years ago. As the mother of five children, she has a bleak future in remote northern Guatemala. Rosa has no wage-earning skills, and she lives in very impoverished circumstances, with no running water, electricity or enough food to feed her children. Her 14 yr old son is the only wage earner for the family. He makes $3.50 per day hauling firewood for neighbors.
Did I mention that she is blind?
Rosa can’t see the cabbage, beans and eggs that we donated yesterday, but she can feel the warmth of friendship from her American sponsor. Helping Rosa would not be possible for us without the assistance of Adopt-A-Village. It takes a group of determined women and an engaged sponsor to create significant change for women like Rosa who have so many needs.
