Bienvenidos a Ody y César!

Welcome to Ody and César!

We are excited to introduce to you two new friends who are now working with us in ministry.

Ody and César joined Groundwork Guatemala in January 2011. We are blessed to have both of them on staff and part of our family!

Ody, her baby, Friseida, and Kristen, one of her sponsors
Ody oversees the scholarships for all of the children who are going to school. She makes sure that the children have all that they need for their school year. She fits them with shoes and uniforms. She purchases any supplies and books that they may need and makes sure that their tuition is paid. Ody's goal is to develop relationships with the children, parents and schools showing her passion for these children and her desire for them to succeed and move forward in their education.. We are so happy to have her with us!

César and Minor in Buena Vista
César was one of the young men who had a scholarship with us and graduated from high school last year. He had been working elsewhere until he felt called to join the ministry at Groundwork Guatemala. He says that he sees the needs of people and that he wants to be a part of helping them. César is a hardworking young man and will do any job that he is asked to do. He desires to learn English so that he can better communicate with our mission teams. César brings his sense of humor with him every day and it is such a joy to have him as part of our Groundwork Guatemala family.

For those of you coming to Guatemala on mission teams this year, we look forward to introducing you to Ody and César!

I am looking forward to meeting them next January. Although I believe Ody was there when we were there last summer, I didn't have the opportunity to get to know her. BTW, I'm learning Spanish.... so maybe I'll be able to express my thoughts with less boo-booes. :-)
