Caminar: Spanish verb- “to walk”

Our story
Life is a walk. Everyone has their own. Our walk takes us to a variety of places and experiences. Our walk began in 2008 when my two daughters (10 and 15 yrs old) and I made over 50 tote bags as God provided funding for a mission awareness trip to Guatemala to visit our sponsored child of the 7 years prior. The walk continued as 10 year old, Meah made mo

re bags to fund sponsorship of a beautiful little Mayan girl named Monica whom she met while in Guatemala. In 2010, the walk picked up pace when Meah, age 12, and her brother Nathaniel, age 10, with mom’s help made 50 more bags to fund a trip back to Guatemala. In 2013 the walk continues with a new traveler, Jim Hilton, an 85 year old gentleman who anticipates his approaching new heavenly home. He passes down his legacy of 70 years of knowledge and experience in custom auto interiors, upholstery, and leather goods by mentoring and teaching professional leather sewing techniques. We purchase some of his commercial sewing machines. Jim contributes his prize collection of exotic skins of zebra, reptile and specialty leather pieces of unique textures, colors and stories. We now take them in new directions to places they have never been. They are on their own adventure!

It was fun to be able to be involved in the next phase of supplying the school supplies to the children in Guatemala. We worked on assembling the packets that will be delivered by another mission trip team in the near future. 4,000 students will be receiving the packages which contain pencils, crayons, paper, eraser, and pencil sharpener.

Collecting pencils and crayons for our upcoming mission trip to Guatemala. Walmart still has crayons for 25 cents a box! Anyone interested in contributing?
We received the following from the missionary we will be joining. "The one thing that we are lacking is pencils. IF we get enough crayons donated, then all of the kids will receive crayons. For the last couple of years, we have had to cut them from the older kids (2nd-6th grade) and just give them to preschool and first grade. Please keep me posted of what you collect or purchase; it will help to project what we will have and allow us to plan better. I have 6-7 groups that are collecting and am hoping we will get a good response. Thank you for having a heart to help support this project; it makes a huge difference to the children in assisting them to have the basic supplies they need for their classroom work and for homework assignments.

Please let us know if you will be attending, we would like to give the caterer an accurate count! Thanks so much, see yo...
