Change a Child’s Life a Gift at a Time!
Posted by: | CommentsIt is that time of year again, CHRISTMAS!!! There are always people on your Christmas list that have everything, are impossible to buy for and just don’t need or want one more thing. Make it easy on yourself and make a difference in the world, at the same time, and donate to Semillas de Amor in honor of that special person. You can make a donation at http://www.semillasdeamor.org/ and a few days before Christmas we will send out a Christmas card via email, with the Semillas kids’ photos on it and a note from us. This card is only an example. We only need to have you mention on your donation that this is for a Christmas card, the person’s name and their email address and who the card is from. We hope you will shop with us this year. If you would prefer a Christmas card via snail mail please make your donation before December 15th and make sure you send us the person’s name and mailing address and who the donation is from.
Thank you for supporting the children at Semillas de Amor.

The Semillas de Amor kids worked for several weeks practicing Christmas songs for our celebration Christmas Eve. They sang in both English and Spanish with Gaby playing piano and Daisy on guitar. I think we have a great musical group here and can already see us having small concerts in the near future. We hope you enjoy the songs and our talented kids and musicians We are already planning our music program for 2011! Move over Glee!
A Visit to the Bomberos

All children seem to be fascinated by fire fighters and our kids at Semillas de Amor are no different. We told the kids a week before the field trip that were had planned a visit to the fire fighters in Antigua and that everyone had to be on their best behavior the entire week, and they were.
Fire fighters in developing countries do not have access to the equipment that first world countries have. And these developing country fire fighters are dependent on donations of used and outdated equipment from first world countries to do their jobs. I was impressed by the commitment of our fire fighters and the amount of time they spent with our kids. All the kids and the adults got to dress up in the fire fighter’s gear. We had so much fun.
