Remember Christopher from our post, yesterday?! Well TODAY is Guatemala's Independence Day, and and this little drummer boy is pretty pumped to be showing his national pride. Did we mention that Christopher is an avid coloring artist!? 🇬🇹. 🎉 #guatemala #allcountriesmatter

FAITH OVER FEAR 💪 Christopher came to us six years ago barely able to walk or talk. Now, thanks to nutritional treatments, therapies like drumming with Aleda, and a LOT of faith, he is thriving! Rock on, buddy! 🥁🤘

Carlos, 65, suffers from Skeletal Muscular Atrophy, and recalls a time, unable to care for himself, he went 22+days without bathing. His journey from shame to renewed dignity has brought him home. More importantly, it's brought him HOPE. ✨🌈✨ Sponsor 👉https://t.co/jQnpnzZOmS

As quarantine continues, Dr. Ismael makes sure staff are healthy for campus shift rotation. While we have remained at a critical-personnel-only capacity, we still have more than 1,000 folks in our daily care relying on us to keep them healthy and safe. 😷👨‍⚕️‍⚕

HOL St. Luke's staff are working hard as #malnutrition in #Guatemala is on the rise. If children don’t have the best start in life during the first 2yrs, the impacts of malnutrition are irreversible - so our emergency rescue program remains the ❤️ of all we do. #wesavelives
