Senator Landrieu returns to Guatemala to fight for the kids!!!!
Posted by: | Comments
All of us at Semillas de Amor and Seeds of Love are so appreciative to Senator Landrieu and the Guatemala900 for their non stop advocacy to get the kids home. This truly has been insane and so many families have lost children needlessly as well as families waiting almost four years, and some longer, to bring their children home. This should have NEVER happened. The Guatemala900 is a grassroots, small group of parents who have adopted children from Guatemala and have challenged the legal system to bring home children who should have been with their families years and years ago. It is tragic. Now the Guatemala900 and the kids, who have been left behind, have a huge advocate in Senator Mary Landrieu and on July 5th Senator Landrieu returns to Guatemala to see what, if any, progress has been made to get the kids home. Thank you Guatemalan900 and Senator Landrieu and all those people “behind the scene” that are fighting for these children’s rights, we are eternally grateful. Read More→

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!

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 And these developing country fire fighters are dependent on donations of used and outdated equipment from first world countries to do their jobs.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.
