Christi's Purpose (by Christi R.)

While in Guatemala, I decided to sponsor a child so that he/she could attend school. After seeing how the people live and what they endure, I thought in some small way I could improve someone's life.

When I met Cesar, he was very shy and apprehensive. He did not want to lose sight of his mother and held her hand tightly. He would hold my hand with his mother's encouragement, but was always checking to make sure she was there.  Two days later, we were able to meet again. Before loading the trucks to go to lunch, Cesar reached up and took my hand (on his own accord). I was accepted. I had a purpose.
