Girls of Shalom win Beauty Contest, La Ceiba, Honduras

Shalom, a home in La Ceiba for girls, has been in operation for some 10 years.  There are presently 18 girls living there in the Cruzadas compound.  All of the girls go to school, and many also have jobs after school.  After graduation, most head for college in some type of profession.
But, that is not to say they don't have fun.  This came from Sandy Palelncia from Cruadas and Suyapa, the dorm mom.

Hi, Bill, Dr. Camp & Dr. Boshell,

   Here are some pictures taken today.  Mery and Dilcia participated in their school for "School Queen" .  Mery won first place, so she is the new school queen and Dilcia won 2nd. place.  They modeled: sports clothes, casual clothes and dresses,  they also had to answer some questions and they also had the most applauses for the other students.

   They wanted me to send you the pictures.  They says they enjoyed themselves and they send their love and regards.  Bill, Mery says to let you know she was so happy to see you all.

             Blessings,

                 Sandy
