Before
After
Pictures
paint a thousand words:
Earlier this year, on a home
visit, we found these three kids, Luis,
Jimena and Vincente
after their
mom abandoned them.
They were essentially taking care of
themselves in a tin/adobe compound. Along
with the help of one of our sponsors,
Luis is now in school and the young ones in
kindergarten. They get at least two meals
per day, are clean, and get to play
with other kids. See
full size
photos and read
their story.

Sustainable Solar News:
We have received samples of 2
other solar kits; a carry around lantern and
a hang-able unit
by DLight and a most practical
desk lamp by SunKing. These new
units, along with
the larger
solar unit by Quetsol, which
lights 2 rooms, will
go into
field
testing next
week in collaboration with another local
organization, GodsChild
project. To see
images click here for our
solar page.

Big Mind Process Saving Lives:
The 3 junior classes at one of the
schools where we work were given a survey by
the psychologist to determine their
general
thinking and emotional states. Over
50% of the kids (about 60 of them)
lived with suicidal thoughts on daily basis.
Debora,
using the Big Mind process worked with these
three groups. Read
the full
story here.
