There's bright new hope in
the life of 10-year-old Maria
Elena Guillen Sanchez of
Nicaragua and ler family
whose monthly income has
recently been increased by
almost 33 per cent — thanks
to the generosity of Greg
Farslow of
couver.

Greg has ‘adopted’ little
Maria Elena under the
Foster Parents of Canada
Plan and now sends her each
month the standard FPPC
contribution of $19. Prior to
that the total monthly in-
come of the family
comprising her mother,
herself, two brothers, two
sisters and her grandmother
— was approximately $60 .

Maria's father has
abandoned the family and
contributes nothing to their
support. Her mother, who
can neither read nor write,
earns the family income
primarily by washing and
ironing other people's
clothes.

The seven of them live in
the grandmother's house
which has about 250 sq. ft. of
living space. They are lucky
enough to have electricity,
running water and a latrine.
The furniture consists of two
beds, a table, four chairs and
a primitive cook stove.

The family rarely eats
meat. Its staple diet consists
of rice, beans, eggs and
potatoes.

However, they live near a
health centre and are all
reportedly in good health at
the present time. Maria
