Most children in Guatemala end their education at 6th grade because Jr. High is too expensive for them. Jr. High cost $12.50 per month = (92.5 Quetzales) or $125 per year. While in Guatemala we met Br. Dennis who has been helping children obtain an education in an effort to change their lives, and it is working. Through donations, so many children have been helped. You can help a child go to junior high (7th - 9th Grade) or even to High School and Seminary. My wife stated that she gets her nails done at a cost of $30 per month. She then stated that she would be more than happy to give up the fake nails to allow 2 children the opportunity to get a Jr. High education. Please pray about this issue and if you are able, help change a child's life. We actually met many children who are attending school due to the donations of people just like you.

God's peace,
Pat
