In the USA we have a custom of posting photos of missing children on the back of Milk Carton's. Without debate to the efficacy of that activity, I am attempting to launch a similar project here in Guatemala. The name of the page and blog/website will likely change, but for now I will refer to it as the Milk Carton and attempt to publish in English and Spanish.
Currently, we have two children that are lacking full documentation and they may have families looking for them. The first kid is Marie Ines. She is the sweetest thing in the world. Though she does not speak she understands much. She has a wonderful smile and sunny disposition. She has horrific burn scars on her front stomach, chest and neck. Looks like a pan of boiling water landed on her in infancy.
The other kid is Oscar Martinez. Another cool kid. In Oscar's case he is a fully grown man with an unfortunate hunchback. He probably weighs the same as I do and is only barely able to walk. He also has fairly pronounced Down syndrome characteristics.
I am thinking about creating a different blog or website with the Milk Carton theme. We also have a beautiful nine year old girl who is available for adoption. She has down syndrome and has enormous potential. Her name is Heidi and I will be writing more about her soon. If you have any suggestions about how to locate these kids parents or potentially new parents (adoptive), please let me know.

As always, I ask you to keep these children and their situations in your Prayers-
