Children, my purpose
Guatemala Day 2
A very emotionally charged day today.
We visited My Melody School in Chimaltenango and it was an extreme of emotions from start to finish.
The children at the school are all Maya, and until recently due to oppression, genocide and continuing prejudice, they are part of a place where they have been unable to celebrate and thrive in their history, language and culture. The kids at this school live in extreme poverty, and here they are offered a chance to break the cycle and reach their potential.
Seeing how these children live out of school was heartbreaking, but seeing what the Principal, Igor (an amazing man), has provided for them was heartwarming.
