After spending a Saturday with no light and a rainy Sunday, I woke up today and it's raining even are 9am and everyone is eating breakfast, I've only been sleeping on the couch.

Hooo I forgot to tell you know that the strange sounds were heard? hmm is the story of the night. I'm Breakfast.

Well, I have much to write, from 4pm we are without power, the storm this again and I'm working with my laptop battery, so will try to sleep for today and tomorrow will tell you how was my day.

Day 1

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 30 May 2014 02:10:00 +0000

Yesterday I commented that I slept in a chair I found, but they were two armchairs that conforms to sleep , the room had a small TV and two chairs , which was the best place I have to rest.

I admit I did not sleep well , the heat was unbearable 93F , but with the help of a fan I found it , I felt I was able to spend the night. Some strange noises that I have not identified , but I promise more research if you listen again.

For breakfast , rice , beans, bread and a cup of coffee. the day is spent reading newspapers , helping to clean the place and listening to the thousands of stories that all grandparents have to tell. I was military, my husband took him the military, I met the President in 1945 , and thousands more .

It's strange to be here , is completely another world, and it's time for lunch. Rice again now with some red sauce and a small pedaso chicken , of course, accompanied by tortillas made here and water.

In the afternoon, the rain starts to fall , is so strong that it looks like a tornado, but everyone tells me it's normal. actually spend the afternoon watching the window and talking to the people who work here, they get paid around $ 200 a month for work here and I think they do with love , they know the name of each of the people and tastes, tell me they are like little children who can be happy one moment and then be fighting each other .

night comes, there is nothing more than sweet bread and coffee, and the lady tells me it's because otherwise they will hurt the stomach and not be able to sleep, so accept my dinner and I come to write.

I really did not find anything to do, tomorrow will try to do something productive that can benefit people who are here.

I remind you that I'm trying to get support to buy beds in case we want to help you can donate the amount you want in the paypal section of this right.

Greetings and happy night.

A Bed for my Grandfather

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 29 May 2014 03:37:00 +0000

I have visited several places in Guatemala and in most there are people in need of at least a place to sleep, which is why this is the title of today. A BED FOR MY GRANDFATHER.

I search? I am in Santa Lucia Cotzumalguapa in the Casa Hogar Jesus of Mercy and from here I will write in these 30 days. A had been forgotten, which is what am looking for? Seeking to each of the 15 elderly people who live here, have a nice bed to rest, I have seen that most sleeping in beds someone gift them over 25 years ago and have gone through it many people have an unpleasant odor and lying as she is lying on a bed of stones, feel all the springs in the back and is not comfortable.

I know in my previous campaign did not collect what we would have liked, but if I only collect for ONE, I'll be happy to have helped.

Thanks to all.

Thanks Friends

Hello Friends,

I want to thank you all for the donations that we have done, is that I've been a bit quiet but believe me when I say that burning status we have a lot of work.

The video that we posted was done thanks to a group of filmmakers Guatemalans that we donated this material to disseminate a better message. It is in Spanish but i think that the images are obvious.

MANY THANKS FRIENDS.

How to make more people know about ?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 01:56:00 +0000

I believe that the real reason for this blog, it is not raising funds through grants (a donation is always good), nor create pity and although I think that I had already said, the reason for this blog is to create awareness of the situation that we live after some years.

If we were good parents or if we're bad children, that who cares, what is important today is that those people are in need of help from someone.

If I give myself, if you pledge your or if you'll have to come to someone else, that it does not matter, they only know that they need help from someone.

Today treatment that most people look at the blog, look at the situation that they are going through, think about the sentence that said, everything we do today what we paid tomorrow. (Karma)

If for some reason you get to here, don't believe that it was a coincidence, everything in life has a reason and perhaps your reason is know this cause.

Thank you for spreading the message.

You want to help us ?

Hi again, stop writing some days because we were in the Nursing Home helping that everything would be fine.

Thanks to the people that have sent me emails asking me questions about the association, if you are legally registered, if your documentation is updated, how many years has to be working, etc.

We are an association of aid to communities, legally constituted in Guatemala in 2004 and since that year we have been able to help the people in many different events which have happened in this country. The association receives no support from any entity and that is why we request cooperation through friends and people that in these years have joined this charitable cause.

On this occasion, we have focused our efforts at home for the Elderly JESUS OF THE MERCY which was founded in the year 2003, and by the needs you have the we are inviting to be part of this work, the home requires a lot of help, if you are begging in their possibilities provided us with the necessary assistance in order to be able to serve in a dignified manner to our elders who both need us.

Clothes, diapers, bedding, sheets, hygiene items, anything wishing to donate will be well received. Little by little we will be including in the blog the biography of each of the people who live in the home for all we can know and be able to somehow collaborate directly with Grandpa who wish to sponsor.

Brothers in aid, because when you need a help, you ask a brother.

Attached some pictures so we know the conditions where these people live and what prompted us to help this cause.

A normal day.

Today I woke up thinking that I would write, had nothing to say, but to see today's news, I think that there is always something to say.

One of the news that grabbed my attention the most was :

The Pacaya threat of new comes

Into activity to the 5:30 AM with series of explosions and launch of "plume of ash" that can reach more than two thousand meters above the crater.

http://www.elperiodico.com.gt/es/20130730/pais/231895/

This means that we must be prepared again because there could be a tragedy like the one that occurred some years ago where the same volcano covered with ash much of the country, causing deaths and the loss of crops, evacuation of nearby places, etc.

http://www.prensalibre.com/noticias/Volcan-Pacaya-pequenas-municipios-afectados_0_269373336.html

Let us hope that this does not happen again and if that happens, as brothers we are ready to help.

Visit to the nursing home

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 23:13:00 +0000

Some days ago we visited the asylum of elderly JESUS OF MERCY, we had the opportunity to bring some food, bottled water and blankets, but we realized that living in bad conditions. Talk with the director and i commented that they do not receive any kind of help and that the elderly often have no family that can take care of.We wanted to share these photos, not to pity him, but so that all can see the conditions they live in many of the people who in his youth gave all their effort by their families, by their place of work, by their homeland and today end up forgotten in a home where the only sense of family they have of the people who care and others who are on the same conditions as them.

Why my email is S21 ??

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 26 Jul 2013 18:06:00 +0000

Hello again from first i would like to thank the 15 people that read my blog, I can assure you that was a surprise that my experiences have come to these people. Thank you very much.

Some have asked me because my mail is S21, i want to tell you which is the acronym of Psalm 21 from the Bible that says ... GLORY TO GOD FOR HAVING OVERCOME THE ENEMY. And as for me, the enemy refers to poverty, hunger, malnutrition and to all the evils of affecting the world. I would like to thank God because some day with the help of all is that we will defeat them.

Today I am visiting a nursing home, located 56 miles from the capital of Guatemala, in this seekers live around 20 elderly, who do not receive assistance from any organization and that is why I am here, to be able to give them some food, disposable diapers and other things for your personal hygiene.

Within a few days be uploading photographs, to see how happy it is to visit these people and know that they feel very good that you are here.

Until the next

Thanks for following.

Welcome to my blog

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 26 Jul 2013 16:45:00 +0000

Hi all, maybe my English is not very good, but tell me, in a country like this, at that time you could study another language, if there are people who die daily because no tubieron to eat.

And do not speak of places my beautiful Guatemala type A, no, those places are very beautiful and there are many tourists. I'm talking about communities located just a few miles of urban where due to lack of development, conditions of climate or pest affecting their crops, are today, at this hour, dying from hunger.

But you not only speak of these places, these people, also speak you of forgotten elderly in a nursing home, for people affected by the earthquake of 2012 and still suffering from the loss of all their things. I think that it is time to give us a hand, help each other and that is the purpose of this blog, week-to-week will be, a group of friends, entrepreneurs, brothers visiting these sites in order to provide a little help which I want to share with you.

Already them dige, my English is not very good, but is that my experiences will be good to be able to teach my son that if we all help, everyone will achieve out of poverty.

Thanks for following me Manny Bran.
