The two weeks spent in Guatemala was a real eye opener. We experienced happy times and sad times as well as fun and entertaining moments. Our work at Casa Angelina was tough and very gratifying and we know we made a difference. The orphans we saw and visited were so wonderful and asked for nothing. It was a real pleasure to be able to make a difference in a few children's lives.
We visited 4 orphanages and spent some quality time with many of the children. We saw kids of all ages and from all walks of life. The one thing they all had in common was there love for life. None of them complained about anything, it was very humbling and made you feel that you can do more for them. I need to get the message out and to try and raise some funds to help some of them lead better lives.
Orphan Resources International is truly a wonderful organization that is helping 40+ orphanages in a 50 mile radius of Guatemala City. They deliver food to them and try and bring down work teams, like ourselves, to help the many homes.

I want to thank everyone for a wonderful opportunity. The students from Northumberland High School were great friends and rose to every challenge. They are the best!
Here are a few pictures from one of the orphanages:
