Tuition Angel Scholarship Program
In collaboration with our friends at Futuro de los Niños we have started our new Tuition Angel Scholarship Program. Please click SPONSOR AN ANGEL to find out more about our scholarship program, which children need sponsors and to listen to their dreams about what they want for the future. There is no donation that is too small and never one that is too large to sponsor our kids.
School is in Session!
By · CommentsSchool is in session, oh wait, school is always in session at Semillas de Amor. However, mid January started the new school year in Guatemala. At Semillas the kids go to school year round, from 8am to 4PM, other than academics, the kids take swimming, music and art lessons. They have a very busy schedule and are eager learners.
A Visit from Carlos Peña
By · Comments
In October, 2011 at our fundraiser in Northern California we were fortunate enough to have Latin American Idol Winner, and Guatemalan, Carlos Peña sing for us. We have come full circle and this Christmas, while Carlos was home visiting his family in Guatemala, he came to visit Semillas de Amor and sing with our kids. As you can see it was quite a treat for all of us and our kids were so excited to show Carlos every inch of the children’s home.
If you click on the photo, below, with Carlos and the kids it will take you to the video of Carlos singing Luna de Xelaju with our kids. Below the video is a slideshow of photos of the kids with Carlos and his family.
Our children at Semillas de Amor are so fortunate. Because of the generosity of so many people our children don’t worry about where their next meal will come from, if they will have enough to eat, will they have the chance to study. We work very hard at fundraising in order to provide an environment for our children to thrive. We constantly worry that there won’t be enough money, but we use our donations responsibly. And we are so fortunate to have people who believe in our work.
