Back on July 21, I received a call from a friend, Laureen Dempsey of World Links in Pennsylvania, telling me of a serious problem in Guatemala. I know Laureen personally, as she is assisting my wife and I with our adoption of a little boy from the same country.

Laureen told me that she was forwarding an email she received from the director of the Casa Guatemala orphanage, www.casa-guatemala.org a home she works with that’s located deep in the Guatemalan interior, caring for upwards of 250 children from 2 to 16 years of age.
