Vilma Paz--Easter baskets to Guatemala friends!!!
Some of you may know of Vilma Paz as the basket lady. She has been delivering baskets to people in Guatemala as gifts for a few years. She puts together a beautiful collection of items and delivers the baskets to the home of the recipient.

Vilma will deliver baskets for any occasion or holiday to anyone in Guatemala. We have sent them to our son's foster family over the years for holidays, birthdays, and on Mother's Day we always have a bouquet of flowers delivered to Marty's foster mom! She is, of course, one of the three moms who have been lucky enough to love him as a son in his short life!

Vilma will also translate a letter and print photos emailed to her for a cost to include with the baskets. This is a great way to keep in contact with your Guatemalan friends who you otherwise struggle to send things on special occasions!

I have Vilma's descriptions of what she is offering this Easter season if anyone wants a copy. Please just respond with "PM to me" and I will send it to you. It gives instructions on how to email her to place an order and where to send payment.

I can personally vouch she will do a great job. She is very professional, has spent countless hours with me in Guatemala, and has a heart of gold!

I know it is hard to find ways to stay connected so I wanted to share this one... The photo attached is the family we have befriended you may have heard me mention as "Armando's family' with the Easter Basket of goodies we sent them last year.
