When we got there this morning the baby you see in the picture was crawling in the mud. He did have a diaper on this time, when we saw him last, he had no clothes on. His knees have open sores from crawling in the mud.
Lourdes’s husband abandoned the family when he went to the states illegally. Lourdes had no income and was left taking care of her children and the children he had from another woman. In desperation, Lourdes gave her children away. Gary worked hard to get them back. Her children, Carlitos, Perla, Emeraldo and Katherine have been with us over ten years now and we are very close to them. Thanks to God, they are now being educated in the private school here.
