January 28, 2014 //  by michael.shead

    We first met Rosa nearly two years ago. She was a joyful, but shy eleven-year-old girl who hobbled along on a bent left foot. Because of her twisted foot, her parents had never sent her to school and she only spoke a few words of Spanish since she’d never had the opportunity to …

The Children Who Wave

December 24, 2012 //  by michael.shead

If you’re ever in Guatemala shortly before Christmas there is a phenomenon that you might not even realize is happening as you drive the PanAmerican Highway (CA-1) through the mountains.
