Potter's House

On Wednesday, May 5th, a group of ORI staff visited Potter's House, an organization that ministers to children and families who live in the Guatemala City dump.



Chatting as I hand out silverware. Potter's House provides a hot lunch for approximately 200 children each school day. This is the only hot meal some of them get each day. We had the privilege of helping to serve the children.



Potter's House has a very nice kitchen and cafeteria. The children trickled in as they arrived from their respective public schools and took their places at the tables.


Denny and I are helping to cut the children's meat. On this day they were served pork chops, noodles, potatoes, and passion fruit. We got to eat after all of the children were served, and it really was not bad.


After the children finished eating, they were dismissed to their classrooms. They spend the afternoons being tutored in various subjects. This helps them succeed in school and also keeps them off the streets.


This is the dirt street outside the back entrance to Potter's House. The city dump is just on the other side of the wall.
