Sunday morning

Met a woman by the name of Maria Lopez for coffee this morning, she is a Spanish woman from Edmonton who comes to Antigua for 4 months, rents an apartment and volunteers.

She showed me around town and took me to San Pedro Church which is run by the Franciscan Brothers - they care for people with disabilities and also babies who require surgery, often to repair cleft palettes which are common due to lack of folic acid in the diets of the mothers.

This is a picture of a family I have befriended, Anna and her five children:  Johnny, Christina, Cynthia, Fernando and Alexandre - I bought about 9 scarves from her, she was so generous about picture taking.
