The Semillas de Amor Kids Pay it Forward!

Posted by: | Comments (0)

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.

This is our second year that the children at Semillas de Amor have had the opportunity to “Pay it Forward” to children less fortunate. Our children’s home is located in a rural area. The traffic is generally horses and cows passing by. There are many children who, rather than go to school, work in the fields and carry heavy loads of fire wood on their backs. All of these children suffer from chronic malnutrition. Their bodies and minds are slowly starving to death. During the year our children put away toys, stuffed animals, school supplies for our Christmas gift give away on December 23rd. They wrap gifts all year long. This year we also gave away toothbrushes and toothpaste and food.

A Visit from Carlos Peña

Posted by: | Comments (0)

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.
