This is Dona Paulina. She is an elderly lady in our village that you can always find sitting in her doorway. She has no children and little family at all to take care of her. Paulina needs a cane to walk and can't see more than two feet in front of her. At least once a week I go sit with Dona Paulina. She loves visitors and always wants to know how everyone is doing. When Rich's parents were here I took them to Paulina's for a visit. We asked what is the most important thing she had learned in her life. Her response "Una vida con Dios," a life with God. Rich and I look for ways to help her out with food or clothes. One of the huge blessings of the youth missionary camp is that we are able to do work projects to help people like Paulina.
Park Plaza was able to help Paulina by painting her house, reinforcing some of her walls, and building a cement walkway to her out-house. She said she had fallen a couple of times when trying to get to the out-house and she was by herself. Paulina was so excited to have these little repairs done and especially about the pink trim on the house!
