Saturday, July 31, we visited the Nuevo Reto orphanage with the Manheim BIC team. This is a small home with about 15 children. Their facility could easily accommodate more, but they do not have the resources to take in more orphans at this time.
We loaded all of the children onto the bus and took them on an outing to the Guatemala City zoo. Here is part of our group enjoying ice cream cones.
Tony enjoyed the giraffes, but his favorite animals were the snakes.
When we returned from the zoo, the team gave gifts to each of the children. Twins Ana and Ilda were pleased with their presents.
The older boys are housed in a temporary facility nearby. By law, boys and girls older than age 12 may not live in the same building. The director gave us a "tour" of the guys' tin house.
The inside of the teen boys' home.
Nuevo Reto is preparing to build a permanent facility for the boys. We had a prayer of blessing on the property.
Uh oh! The bus got stuck in the mud and needed a little push.
