Visiting Church Families
This family lived in a tin house in the jungle. They did not have running water or electricity. The children walked to town 4 times a day. This was their walk... in the rain... and in the dark.
This family has 7 children. The father recently lost his job. The average salary in El Salvador is $5.00 a day. We brought them a bag of rice, sugar, beans and 12 eggs. This cost $10.00. The next day, both the mother and father came to the church to help us work. They worked all day carrying heavy buckets and digging in the pit.... to thank us for our gift.
