"It is the only organization that has helped in La Viña, providing the health services as well as dry latrines through the Environmental Health and Sanitation Program. We pray and ask God that all the families can one day better the quality of their lives with help and support of such persons and organizations who have love for their neighbor and fellow human being."

-- Carlos and Blanca Flores Mayen, who with their four children lived in poverty in a squatter's village along the railroad tracks in Guatemala City, until the government forced them and 124 other families out in July 2001. Overnight they set up a community of tin and plastic shacks on a muddy hillside during the rainy season and began the struggle to obtain basic services such as water, sewer, electricity, streets and education. Today the neighborhood numbers 275 families.
