We
thought that since it was such great news about 'Rosy', it should be
presented separately:
Por ultimo les comparto que Rosy, ya no esta con
nosotras Ella se unió con un hombre y vive con el, por lo pronto
esta bien y les agradece por todo lo que Le apoyaron.
Translation:
BY THE WAY, I HAVE TO SHARE WITH YOU SOMETHING, ROSY IS NOT WITH
US, SHE JUST DICIDED TO LIVE ALONE WITH A MAN, SHE IS VERY WELL.
AND SHE ASK US TO SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOU DID FOR HER,
FOR EVERYTHING YOU SUPPORT HER.

E-Mail from the girls
Dear Barry and Judy Puskas:
We say hello to you with love wishing you are great with all your
family.
We write this letter to thank the sopport that you give us.
Thank`s to God
and all the good people that make this posible. With your help we
already
have full bathrooms, and we finished a very nice kitchen wich was
built with
10,000 mexican pesos that we got in October 2005 and 12,500
mexican pesos on
April 2006.
We also started the surgycal trate for the girl who got
cancer, so we got
6,000 mexican pesos on May 2006.
This trate will cost aproximatly 30,000 mexican pesos; which we
think is our
priority problem.
Actually our nesecities are: an Industrial oven, and a stationary
gas,
tables and chairs for the daning room so the girls can eat more
comfortable
and clean.
Thank you very much this is all we want to say. God bless you and
gives you
love and health.
Respect the girls that are 18 years old we are going to write you
later
because we will have a general meeting until July 26th to
talk about it.
Have a nice birthday we pray for you.
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
This is what the nons wrote for you, I add some pictures and the
letter. You
can see how danger is that they have the gas near the kitchen by
the window.
Also you can see that the kitchen is finished but they need a
bigger oven
because this is not enough. They want to get the gas on the roof
where you
can see is not danger for the girls. that`s all we hope you are ok
it was
great to hear you yesterday you sound great..........See you soon
and have a
nice day your son Rafael.

When we visited the girls' Albergue last October,
the girls sang us a couple of songs in Spanish. One of our friends
wrote down the lyrics of both songs. Here they are for your
