Sweet, sweet babies



My mom and I have been volunteering at Casa Jackson, a home for malnurished infants and young children. Malnutrition is such an overwhelming problem here in Guatemala, but the staff and volunteers at Casa Jackson do an amazing job. They work very closely with the families, educating them on nutrition, child development, budgeting, health, and hygiene.


Laura was all smiles this afternoon and so sweet sharing her toys with the younger kids.


Mario enjoyed talking on a cell phone today. He has even learned some English. As he stood up in his crib he said, "Up!"


Pedro is so thin and delicate. He needs our prayers for a full recovery.


There are twin girls who were born prematurely. They are at Casa Jackson because their mother died in childbirth. Although they are still tiny, both girls seem to be thriving.

they are all so precious! I'm sure these babies will start thriving now that they've had a dose of TLC from you and your mom :) Thank you for posting about this, and giving us the opportunity to pray for these little angels. I love updates from the Wheelers! Hugs to ya'll!
