Alfonso, one of the teens who is going to college in La Paz, recently started playing baseball and needs a left hander mitt.
If you have one and can mail it, we have a friend coming from US to La Bocana next week who could bring it down.
Thanks in advance ~ Blanca

Most mitts are made to wear on the left hand so as to leave the right hand empty for throwing the ball. That would be for a right handed person.
Is this what you mean, Blanca?
BajaBlanca - 4-5-2015 at 05:38 PM
shows how much I know - Alfonso is left-handed, so his mitt then is for the right hand.
Thanks so much for clearing this up, Dennis and hope you can find one Alan!

Great job rdrrm8e !!!!
BajaBlanca - 4-8-2015 at 02:44 PM
Whoa......that looks new? wow rdrrm8e - you have gone above and beyond for sure - I was looking for a used one and wow.....WOW!
muchissimas gracias and if you are ever down to La Paz, hook up with Alfonso (nickname Poncho) for a bite to eat! He is a good kid and when I first
started working with him at 17, I 2013, the first year of the scholarship project, no one thought he would amount to anything and one of the
teachers actually told me not to waste my time on him.
My reaction was of shock because his family simple did not know how to teach him some of the basics that we all take for granted: get to school on
time, keep yourself groomed, your school uniform must be complete. It took months but eventually he got to school on time, he went to the hairdresser
(paid my me) whenever his hair got out of control, and his uniform was right on. His grades got better and better.
He is now a sophomore in college and he is one of the ONLY ones who never seems to be stressing about school exams ....he is naturally smart, I
believe he will excel at International Business - his major. His family is one of the neediest I have had the pleasure of helping and also one of the
proudest of his achievements.
It is new for him to start baseball as a sort - he did jog before but on his own...nothing official. I think it is great - so THANKS for helping to
make another dream of his come true!

Alfonso (nickname Poncho) sent this pic of the glove in La Paz and this note to YOU rdrr8e:
Mr Chuck . Muchas gracias por el guante de baseball que ofrecio regalarme la verdad me gustó mucho, esta bien bonito gracias .... Poncho
translation: Mr. Chuck - thanks for the baseball mitt you sent me, I truly like it very much, it's beautiful thanks ... Poncho
Thanks from me too, rdrrm8e - makes my heart swell up with happiness!
He says he will be practicing soon and will have someone take a pic of him with the glove.

De Nada
BajaBlanca - 4-22-2015 at 01:58 PM
and here is the pic of the glove right after it arrived in La Bocana -I sent the glove for Alfonso to la paz with an envelope containing important
documents for Julian and a Chinese instant shrimp meal someone gave me for Clarissa. Everyone got a little something!
BajaBlanca - 9-16-2015 at 10:58 PM
Alfonso (Poncho) is still loving baseball so I thought I would update the thread with a photo of him and the wonderful mitt!
Thanks again to all the great folks who make dreams come true.
