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.

Go Fly a Kite!

Posted by: | Comments (0)

We are in kite flying season. As is custom in Guatemala, the kids make their own kites, with tissue paper and thin pieces of wood. Amazing these kites can fly like they do but check out the photos of the kids running like the wind with their kites following right behind.

Please don’t forget about our drive for donated gently used Halloween costumes (see the Halloween post below).

Please don’t pack away those 2009 Halloween costumes to collect dust and take up space. We have a good place to re-use those costumes for years to come. Many times during the year the kids dress up in costumes for either parties or just as dress up play. The kids at Semillas de Amor would love to have any gently used or new costumes that you have. They will be used for years to come. Any size is great, from infant to adult. Costumes can be sent to:
Jose Carlos Botzoc Crowley
11114 Oberun River Court Drive
Rancho Cordova, CA 95670

Please include your name with the costumes so we can send you a thank you note.

We had a wonderful Halloween party on Friday. The kids all dressed up, there was food, candy, games and lots of fun. The photos tell it all!
