Waiting Princesses from Guatemala

I have loved Guatemala about as long as I have loved Honduras.  I can remember sponsoring Mayan sisters some years back.  One was 2, the other 4.  The Mayan people were in my heart at that point.  Although some are not in traditional Mayan dress, the girls I am about to profile next are of Mayan descent and speak a Mayan dialect of Ixil. Correspondence will be in Spanish, not Ixil as I know from sponsoring my Juana who attends one of these projects.  As per my prior entry, every sponsorship will mean a $20.00 donation to my friend's travel fund.
