Hennerys suit

I wanted to share a story of how you supporting me impacts and helps the individuals in Guatemala and changes their lives. One day one of our students Hennery came back to our dorm after being in the mountains to visit his family. He seemed really sad and not himself. Later that day we found out that he went home to try and ask his family for money for a suit that he needed to be able to graduate for high school. He goes to a privet school and to graduate from that school you have to have a special suit that cost about $150 US. He had no idea how he was going to pay for it and felt like he just wasted 5 years of his life in school and now couldn’t graduate because he did not have a suit. Later that day when all of us interns where talking we put our money together and bought Hennery his suit. When we told him that we were going to by him his suit he all most started crying (people in the mountains don’t usually show much emotion, so that was a very touching moment). He kept asking us why we were doing that for him. And we were able to tell him because God put him in our lives for a purpose and that God cares about his future as much as we do. That anyone that lives under our roof is our family and we want to see them succeed. So the money you give me enables me to buy things like this for people that will impact them for the rest of their lives.

I want to go down to Guatemala for at least one more year. I fell that this year will be a very important year for me in deciding where God wants me permanently; if that is in Guatemala or somewhere else. For me to be able to stay in Guatemala for one more year I need $8,000 more.
