Orphans in Guatemala

In Guatemala we visited an orphanage where children born with birth defects are given up by their parents who don't have anywhere near the resources to care for them. This little girl had a cleft palate and weighed only about six ounces even though she was several months old. The doctors had to wait until she weighed more than a pound before they could operate.
