Day four of the trip is always a very big day and full of emotions when new sponsors visit the homes of their sponsored children. Sponsoring a child to be able to attend school instead of having to go to work without an education can change their lives forever. As Miguel from Penguinos says…"it gives them the seed of hope".
Each of the new sponsors also brought gifts and food to the families. Often these baskets of food contain the only protein these families will have for some time. Each basket contains a chicken, fruits and vegetable plus some staples. You can be sure all three of those families enjoyed a hearty chicken soup that night.
We also delivered a food basket to the sponsored student of Dan and Beth who would have been with us but had to cancel because of a family tragedy. We were happy to be able to take Daniel and his family a food basket.
After the home visits we installed two fuel efficient Onil stoves to tow different families who were in great need as they were cooking on open fires in very cramped spaces. These stoves will help them prepare meals without all the smoke and will consume 70% less firewood.
Also on our way to El Barranco and the home visits we stopped in Solola to visit another women's co-op where they use low impact dyes and use mostly bamboo to make incredibly beautiful textiles.
