Happy Independence Day Guatemala!

Monday we celebrated Guatemala’s Independence Day. The celebration was extra special since it was our very first celebration since moving into the children’s home in February. And what a day we had. There was music, dance, presentations, typica food, cake and we ended the day with the kids carrying the torch from the park in Parramos all the way back to the children’s home. The joy on the faces of the children was priceless as we honored their country. It has been a very rough 20+ months for us at Semillas. Financial hardships, harassment by the Guatemalan government, facing an uncertain future. However, the independence day celebration brought us all together. Those of us, “still left standing”, are the ones committed to the kids and the work.

Without the support of all of you out there we would have closed our children’s home months ago. To keep us going, to keep the kids thriving, if you so desire, you can make a tax deductible donation HERE

The video is dedicated to all of you, “out there” who believe in our work and care about our kids and their futures. Thank you from all of us.
