Many of you have participated in ministry to and for the children at Casa Hogar la Familia in Mexico. The following are recent updates about their wonderful ministry (sorry that we can't transfer the picture).
Many of you will recognize the two young women pictured below:
On the left is Raquel, a girl who has grown up at La Familia.
On the right is Ivonne: a girl that left La Familia over a year ago to live in a home for girls in Colima.
Both are now 19 years of age.
Raquel just recently left La Familia to finish high school in Colima. In Quecholac, Raquel was only going to school two days a week for 1-1/2-hours a day. In Colima, she is able to go to school for three hours a day, five days a week. And they use the same educational books and material, so she will naturally be able to finish much sooner.
Both Raquel and Ivonne now carry the designation of Adult Volunteers with adult responsibilities at the orphanages in Colima as they work to complete their work to graduate from secondary school.
When I was at La Familia in March, a missioner asked Raquel what she wanted to do when she graduated from secondary school. Her answer: I want to be a doctor!
Robert Sawyer, the director of Casa Hogar, will be with us at Acton in May . . . more details on that later.
