Since that first mommy who brought her starving child to Sharon Harvey’s door about sixteen years ago, ASELSI has been helping provide milk, formula, food, vitamins and medical care to the babies and small children in and around Chichicastenango, Guatemala.

Recently 43 of those children graduated from the ASELSI Milk Program. Complete with togas and hats, these little ones looked quite different from the day they were first carried into the ASELSI clinic a year or more ago.

Volcán Fuego (right) looks calm in this image but just a few days before it was taken, tons of ash erupted and buried villages resting in it's shadow.

Before dawn on Friday a group of about 20 young people gathered inside a tin storage building in Chichicastenango and organized a pile of supplies. They had spent the last several days collecting food, clothes, medicine and water to deliver to the victims of the Volcano Fuego that erupted five days earlier.

The group call themselves the United Churches Movement of Quiche and ASELSI is working with this movement to encourage unity among churches and provide help to those affected by this eruption.
