Tuesday would have been Jose Angel's (Chepe) 18th birthday. Chepe is the teenager who passed away during a trip to the beach last September on Guatemala's Independence Day. We took whichever children wanted to go to the cemetery where we placed stones that the children had made to decorate the grave.

The stones turned out really well. The kids put a lot of thought into them and were very creative and personal with how they decorated each one.
The children gathered around the grave site. We had prayer thanking God for Chepe's life and the great memories that we have of him. This was a difficult time for many of the children, especially for Chepe's brother, Juan.
One of the stones decorated with a guitar since Chepe loved to sing and play his guitar.
