Amor Del Nino...


I just got back yesterday from a layover in Guatemala where I delivered a suitcase of formula to Shyrel Osborn, Director of Amor Del Nino (Love the Child) orphanage. In the last week alone, Amor received a 1-day old baby girl straight from the hospital and a baby boy from the arms of a policeman who found him abandoned on the street (both pictured above). In Sheryl's words, the policeman cried when he handed the baby boy over to her, saying "I don't know how a mother can abandon her baby on the street, but I thank God HE made a plan for him to arrive here..."

Amor now has a total of 19 infants (though not all are pictured since a photo shoot is hard to coordinate around varying sleep schedules!). Formula in Guatemala is very expensive since it is imported, and Amor Del Nino spends an average of $1400 per month on formula alone. Pictured here are the 20 cans I was able to fit in my suitcase. Thank you Formula One Life donors for your ongoing support which enables us to continue supporting amazing orphanages like Amor Del Nino...
