They Had No Means to Eat! Until...

Delfina lives with her 3 children in Guatemala. Her husband works as a farm laborer when he can find work.  Their son, Derik, said there never seemed to be enough food for them to eat saying, “My classmates told me that they ate cereal and eggs. I wanted that but we couldn’t afford it.”  

Delfina tries to help out with the family income during harvest season, explaining, "Here women do not earn much. Depending on the job we earn about 5 dollars a day.”

When they don’t work, the whole family suffers.  Delfina says, "Some days they asked me, ‘is there even an egg or bread?’ I couldn't give them anything because I didn't have it.” Derik shares, “I want to eat chicken and try other foods.”   

Then Operation Blessing visited Delfina and invited her to take part in a chicken project. After her training we gave her a shed, feed and 195 chickens to start a poultry and egg business.  

A delighted Delfina shares, “My kids are happy. My daughter loves scrambled eggs and now I can give them to her. I'm so happy.”  

Derik gratefully says, “Thank you with all my heart for helping us because now we will have a better life.”
