Tessa Stein and Bob Simon and their son, Gabriel, traveled to Paraguay in August. They sponsor Pablo Enrique Vazquez. Here is what they have to say about their experience:

“Our son, Gabriel, who is 12, expressed interest in going back to his birth country, Paraguay. We also have sponsored a child, Pablo Enrique Vazquez through the PPP organization for the past six years and this trip would give us an opportunity to finally meet him and his family. After arriving, we eagerly awaited our meeting at the PPP office. Pablo greeted us with hugs so tight that he didn’t want to let go. Tears came to my eyes seeing this expression of love from Pablo.”

“Pablo’s family live in an extremely dangerous part of the Chacarita so visiting his home was impossible. However, we did go to another section of the Charcarita with another PPP sponsor family and witnessed the seriousness of the poverty ikn that neighborhood. On another day, the PPP staff drove us around to the many projects that PPP has developed. We had no idea that so much was going on with PPP. We saw how much has been one with our donations and how far our dollars can be stretched in Paraguay. PPP is doing amazing work! Because of this trip, we decided to sponsor Pablo’s brother Jan, Too.”

“The PPP staff are incredible. They invited us into their hearts and their homes. I would like to thank the PPP staff for everything that they did for us. They are dedicated, wonderful human beings and the work that they are doing is truly inspiring.”
