Formula One Life in Guatemala, Nov. 2009

(click on picture to enlarge)

Andrea, Summers, my mother and I just got back from our wonderful first trip to Guatemala where we delivered over 700 lbs. of baby formula, powdered milk, garden seeds, toys and crafts to the precious infants and children of Hannah's Hope, Casa de Sion, Casa Angelina and Amor del Nino...

FormulaOneLife Flight Attendants Mary Beth Lavin, Andrea Branas, Summers Doonan and Extended Wings Volunteer Claire Lavin visit the orphans of Casa Angelina in Guatemala, November 2009

Orphans of Casa Angelina singing the heartbreaking words of a lullaby (translated):

Streets bathed in moonlight, the cradle of my youth, I come to sing to my beloved, the silvery moon of my youth... moon of my youth, you brought light to me in my nights of sorrow over a dark colored woman who abandoned me...

And We're Off...!

The first Team Formula One Life (including Andrea with 3 suitcases full in NJ!) raised over 500 lbs. of formula for the infant orphans in Guatemala plus hundreds of dollars worth of powdered milk for the older orphans and enough garden seeds to grow groceries for years! Our heartfelt thanks to all those who gave... The babies will be drinking up your blessing very soon... :)
