More Family Visits

Mynor and I visited 3 more families this morning. Each visit is so moving it’s impossible to put my emotions into words. Most of the parents speak only Tzutujil, a Maya dialect, so Mynor translates from my Spanish to their Tzutujil and back. The kids are fluent in both and study English in school.

The homes are incredibly humble; most wouldn’t even be considered houses in the United States. The families are all very proud of their kids and very grateful for the support. They were all very welcoming, though you can't always tell from the photos. Some offered me bread and coffee which is rich and very sweet. Several offered me bananas and it was hard to refuse so I took a few and shared them with my host family. Photos below - HAPPY TRAILS!
