Sponsor-a-Family November 2015 PLEASE SPONSOR ESTER'S FAMILY Ester is a single mother struggling to raise her five sons: from left to right is Fredy age 6, little Esequil age 1, Arnold age 3, Erik and Eduardo ages 9 and 12. They live in extremely poor conditions, but Ester makes sure her two oldest boys attend school. On this day, Erik and Eduardo were back from their school day, and all quickly changed into their best clothes for the photo, as they happily accepted their BVB bag of food items.We would like to thank this month's BVB Corporate Sponsor, Sugar and Spice. Not only did this popular bakery/eatery donate a gift certificate to our Harvest Cook Off as a prize, but owner Richard Meyer ran an October/November promotion offering his customers delicious brownies or muffins in exchange for donated canned goods to be used by Buenos Vecinos de Boquete. Thank you, Sugar and Spice! If you would like to sponsor this family, and the efforts of Buenos Vecinos de Boquete, your financial support would be most appreciated.
