…and now there is light!
Posted by: | CommentsA huge thank you to the Helen Bader Foundation for their generous grant that allowed us to purchase five solar street lamps and posts. We purchased the solar lights a few years ago and had a very difficult time finding the right people to install them for us. The Guatemala 2012 Wisconsin Work Team just happened to be the right group. With lots of labor, sweat, frayed nerves the solar lights went up. These lamps are on all night and provide us with much needed security. Because they are solar we don’t run up an already expensive electric bill. Solar is beautiful! Thank you so much to the Helen Bader Foundation and our Guatemala 2012 Wisconsin Work team, both groups, by the way, are from Wisconsin!
A Visit from Carlos Peña
Posted by: | Comments
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.
