Not Facebook

Let's face it. This blog will not be popular. People will not spend a lot of time here, reading what I have to say. Most would rather read what someone they barely know has to say about traffic on facebook. Or the ball game. Or something else equally random. And that's ok. I'll keep posting, hoping that someday, somewhere down the line, it will somehow save a child's life.

Meet this little mayan beauty. She has a cleft palate. She is tiny. The cleft palate makes it difficult to eat. But she is a joy! She is the sweetest little thing. The doctors at the clinic in Sarstun are not equipped to perform this type of surgery, so traveling to the city is her only option. Her family lives in one of these very remote villages in rural Guatemala, close to Sarstun. They have never been to Guatemala City, or Antigua, where her new doctor is located, or any place similar to this level of civilization. They are scared. They don't know where they are or how they will get home, let alone get back for the surgery. But thanks to www.RefugeInternational.com they have that opportunity.
