 |
| We meet with Rosario, our student through the Beca Project: http://www.becaproject.org |
 |
| One of Rosario's cats had this little guy recently. |
 |
| Our two daughters and our ahijada (goddaughter) pose outside of the house. |
 |
| Next we go with Stacey, who started the Beca Project, and Mynor, Spanish teacher and Beca Project advisor, to visit my parents' ahijado, Emerson (in white shirt). His older brother, Hans (in yellow shirt), wants to continue studying but has had to take time off from school to work and earn money. |
 |
| I am holding one of the family's little chicks in these photos. |
 |
| Stacey and Mynor, on the right of the photo, are spending full days visiting the families of scholarship students, treating them to pizza lunches, and taking them shopping. Emerson holds the record for most pieces of pizza eaten--twelve! |
 |
| Ava and Amanda re-energize with San Pedro fruit smoothies and cotton candy. |
 |
| Semana Santa decorations outside the Catholic church in San Pedro include these beautiful hanging fruits. |
 |
| Lorenzo shows us how big Rocky, who was a tiny puppy when we were here last year, has grown. |
 |
| The new 2013 Beca students go on a shopping trip for new clothes or other necessities, with help from their sponsors. Emerson was able to purchase a new pair of shoes a few weeks ago and this jacket today. |
 |
| Elena holds Rocky for the camera. |
 |
| Rosario is very pleased with her new sweater and shoes. |
 |
| Ava enjoys helping Rosario select her items. |
