Jutta and Heinz make such a difference!

Some of the most important lesson in life you learn from the most humble of people. I have learned from Jutta and Heinz that it IS possible for any person to make a difference in the world. Even if is it just one tiny little village in Central America. They don't need foundations or bureaucracy they just need to see a need, collect some money, and then help.

The little Bella Vista school would not be in existence today if not for Heinz and Jutta funding and setting up sponsors for the children. without the school, these children would have little chance of any education.

All this month, Jutta and Heinz have been busy with many of the families in the community getting them ready for school and helping with immediate basic needs. Taking people to the doctor, building roofs, buying groceries. Each year, Jutta and Heinz come to the village January and February and in the 2 month period there is much to do and so many possible needs to help with. They do all this with very little money. For instance, less than $3 per visit allowed Jutta to take Ruth, a mother of 9 riddled with arthritis, to the doctor to receive cortisone shots. Prior to 3 shot, Ruth could barley walk.

I trust their judgment, and they help as much as they can in the most basic of ways. They are conscious about changing the community or culture. They also understand the importance of people helping themselves. I feel very lucky to have been able to work with Jutta and Heinz, get to know the community, and help out now and in the future.
