Update On Eder
Remember Eder, from Guatemala? He's one of the group of 13 kids sponsored on an ongoing basis by LangaList Plus! subscribers:
Eder comes from an indigenous family that speaks only the Spanish language and wears westernized clothes. Eder has two brothers. Both parents are literate. His father works as a merchant, and his mother does the house chores. The family's monthly income is below US$100.00. Their salary is not enough to provide their basic needs. They live in their own three-room dwelling, built of adobe walls, tile roof, and cement floor.
Since our last report, we've gotten a pile of additional information on Eder's progress. (He's doing fine, although one of his notes speaks of riding out last year's Hurricane Stan!)
We have a new photo of Eder with his Mother and baby sibling; and a couple of drawings--- one bucolic and one that appears to be an insane clown. (Really! <g>)
I've collected those updates into an "Eder" folder. To see how LangaList Plus! subscription funds have helped Eder since the last report, click here:

Here's what this is all about: Those of us with computers and Internet
access are vastly better off than most of the world's population.
Because of this, I decided that a portion of the LangaList Plus!
subscription fees would be donated to registered/legitimate charities
helping the underprivileged around the world. The contribution does not
increase the cost of a Plus! subscription in any way; the donation is
taken "off the top" of any profits. (This is described in the pages at
http://langa.com/plus.htm )
Eder is one of many children sponsored on an ongoing basis--- week in,
week out--- by the collective generosity of LangaList subscribers. To see

If you're already a LangaList Plus! subscriber, thank you! You can feel
good about giving back a little to those less fortunate, and opening a
door to the future for a child in otherwise-desperate circumstances.
If you're not yet a Plus! subscriber check it out: With a Plus!
subscription, you can not only help yourself make the most of your
hardware, software and time online--- but you also can help those less
fortunate (like Eder) make the most of their very lives. Thanks for your
help!
