Rosa de Amor

On Christmas Eve, we and the Freeds delivered a load of supplies to a very poor orphanage called Rosa de Amor located in Mixco, a suburb of Guatemala City.

Unloading the truck at the front gate.


The children pitched in to help unload boxes of clothing, shoes, and food.


The housemother was overwhelmed to the point of tears when she saw the large amount of donated food. When she opened the refrigerator we noticed that it was nearly bare.


We fitted each of the children with new shoes, much to their delight. The girl in the pink striped shirt received a brand-new pair of pink Barbie shoes. She grinned from ear to ear and gave me a big hug.



The children delighted in the attention and responded with smiles and hugs.
