For the first time in Mynor's two-and-a-half years, he has a legal identity! Mynor was abandoned in a ditch as a newborn and was brought to Casa Shalom at a few days old. He's been with us ever since, but because his mother abandoned him, he was never registered with the government and didn't legally exist. There are many children like this in Guatemala, and they are vulnerable to human traffickers because they don't exist on paper. We are so happy to announce that after a long struggle to get Mynor registered, he now has a birth certificate and a legal identity! This identity awards him full privilege and protection as a Guatemalan citizen. We thank God for this important step in Mynor's life.
