Today’s  painting features a Guatemalan child we all called Pretty, because she was just that, inside and out. She was always smiling as she followed our team during our building days in her village. Pretty radiated kindness and a gentle manner beyond her years.

Among the team there was talk about whether or not the children in the village were happy and if they knew they lived in such poverty with a limited future. The popular opinion was that they were happy because they just didn’t know.  As I looked at Pretty and into her eyes I felt that she knew there was something better in the world for her…she just didn’t know what~
