Erika Santamaria is a special girl from a special family. She is from the third family I started working with so far the most successfull. Her mother Roxcinia has been assisting EI for several years now. Erika has wanted to be a doctor since I have known her (since 1998). Bob was looking for someone to do a feature story on and I thought she would be a great candidate. We took her out to dinner and he interviewed her for his second article on EI.
Santamaria Family at home
This year we were honored to have Give a Kid a Backpack foundation give us an in-kind grant of backpacks and school supplies which typically we provide along with the mandatory uniforms and shoes. In order to prepare for their arrival we purchased 2 pinatas to use for a party in their honor. Bob and I took a young helper, Efrain, with us to select the candy and pinatas . He also got his first shot at shooting video. Bob wanted a kids persepective on a candy store. By the way Efrain had NEVER seen such a store. A definite first for him! When I told him to start filling bags with candy his eyes just about popped out of his head!
