Faces

We did this a few times a while back and in continuation with this theme here are a few more faces of the some of the people here.


Lindsey, Kathy, and Rachel. Lindsey and Rachel came down with their university and Kathy is a 15 year old girl who lives in El Callejon. Kathy is very sweet and well-behaved, and like most girls her age is a little boy crazy. But recently she has been going through some tough times. A 40 year old Italian man recently took interest in her and wanted to marry her. He gave her dad some money to help with some health issues he has been having, and because of this, Kathy's parents started to pressure her to marry him. But clearly Kathy did not want to marry him, so he went back to Italy. But now Kathy's parents are mad at Kathy and have been ignoring her and treating her badly. Now Kathy is in a very tough situation because even though she did the right thing, she has lost the love and care of her parents. Please pray that Kathy will continue to be strong and will learn to rely on Christ during this difficult time. Please pray that her parents will realize the hurt they are causing her and that would stop.



Genesis and Rachel. Genesis is an adorable 2 year old girl. She comes to the Social Work site with her mom and grandmother. She was born premature at 6 months, and since then she has had a lot of physical problems. She is now mostly healthy expect that she can't walk. Her muscles are like jelly. She has been going to the Students International developmental therapist (Amy Green) and it has helped her a lot. She has made a lot of improvement. She can now walk when she is holding onto something. Please pray that God will continue to heal her and that she grows up to be a strong healthy woman.
