In September 2009, I learned that a women in Bisan, a village in the Guatemalan highlands, had been murdered, leaving her 5 children without a mother. I had been to Bisan and, though I had never met “Rosa” I could imagine the terrible circumstances surrounding her death.\u00a0Rosa’s 5 children were now orphans without a father or other family members to help take care of them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I began to raise money to help support the children (here called “Roberto, Elena, Angel, Maria and Mario”). And in\u00a0December, my friend Fernando and I traveled to Bisan to meet the children.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This bi-lingual book,\u00a0Rosa’s Children<\/em>, is the story of that visit. The book is a fundraising project; all money is donated to pay for food, medicine, clothes and school fees for these 5 orphans.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rosa’s Children<\/em>\u00a0is illustrated by Carlos Chavez, a Maya Kaq’chikel painter from San Juan Sacatepequez who donated his art to help support the children. Carlos Chavez’s work can be seen on his website:<\/div>\n
