After meeting with the leaders in Sierra Prieta, the whole team walked around the community each meeting our sponsor children. Sandra's house was the last stop and it was quite a hike to get there. She lived the furthest out from the school and seemed to live in the poorest conditions compared to the other four houses we had visited. She lives with her mom only and has two sisters and one brother. Her mother welcomed us right into the home. Sandra was very shy. In talking after our meeting we discussed how crazy it would be to have lots of Americans come into your small home with cameras... I'm sure she was overwhelmed. The language barrier made it tough even though we had a translator there. Jared and I are ready to really brush up on our Spanish. We gave her a little bag with school supplies, a bible and a picture of our family. Here are some pics from our visit.
