| Tía Abigail joined the GSCH staff on 6/5/2010. She serves as a house mother in casa verde and fills in as cook when necessary. Tía Abigail lives 45-minutes from the GSCH. Abigail's testimony is amazing and it is something that we must tell you in person. Her dedication became even more evident after we experienced her daily commute. She climbs up hills, steps on slippery rocks to cross creeks, crawls under fences, and walks through mud during the rainy season. Abigail never misses work; even during peak rainy season. |
| Abigail is a Christian lady that is working very hard and instilling great values into her children. You will absolutely adore her daughter, Maria Louisa. |

| Tía Merlin joined the GSCH staff on 7/5/2011. She serves as house mother to girls in casita #1. As a new tía, we placed her with tía Carmen, one of our most seasoned tías, to give her an excellent opportunity to develop her skills as tía. |
| Tía Merlin lives at the GSCH with her young son. We weren't sure how we could keep her on staff. At one point, we thought we were going to have to terminate her employment due to low finances of the home. She broke down and explained that she was the only person working and earning income in her home. God gave us a way to keep her on staff and we're grateful that this young tía is learning and growing in her faith. |
