Traditional Mayan Outfit for Veronica

Thank you to Zaida in Puerto Rico and everyone who donated to the schooling-fund for Don Victoriano's grandchildren.  They now have funding for their senior year of high school!  Pascuala and Claudio, along with their grandfather, came to our house last week to bring Veronica a traditional Mayan shirt, skirt, and belt that Pascuala stitched for her.  They are beautiful!  Veronica was very happy through the whole visit and liked being held by everyone!
