Another fine day for the Chavalos!

Wow... John from New Jersey brought over a whole bunch of very nice clothes for the street kids.
All sizes, all types... something for everybody.

It didn't look good when he left in is home state. Spirit Airlines had a temporal embargo on cardboard boxes. And the clothes were packed in... well, a cardboard box.
When he told the lady behind the counter that it contained nothing but clothes to give away to the street kids of Granada - Nicaragua, her heart was in the right place...
She even offered him a free suitcase that someone didn't need any more!
Thank you!! Thanks to you, John and all the fine people that donated the clothes in the first place, a whole bunch of kids are now nicely dressed!

By the way... Alexander finally made it all the way to Segovia... way up north.
He had a super great time there. Reuniting with his kid sister whom he hadn't seen in over 4 years made this a unique moment. He celebrated Christmas with his aunt and sister. He had a wonderful time. All this thanks to your donations!
It's a pity I don't have pictures. (our camera broke down a couple of weeks ago!) Maybe I'll ask one of our guests to take some pictures.

Check back in a couple of days!
