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→

June 25th is officially TEACHER’S DAY in Guatemala. Semillas de Amor celebrated our teachers and our June birthdays on Friday the 24th. We had lots of food, cake, presents and beautiful handmade cards. Our kids have never bought a card (watch out Hallmark) only give handmade cards. That is true as well for Gaby who is almost 16. She would never think of buying a card. It is an act of love to make a very special card for the person you are honoring and celebrating. Happy teacher’s day to our amazing teachers, Lisbeth, Hugo, Alicia, Paola, Syliva and Luvia. We are so grateful to you for the wonderful work you do with our children everyday. Read More→

Our friends at Futuro de los Niños raised over $3000.00 to help Semillas de Amor “go green”. With this funding we have been able to buy the very tall poles we need to install our solar lamps. The solar lamps will not only provide lighting but will provide us security at night. We were able to build our new worm hotel and purchase worms. We are expecting our worms any day now. We were able to build a compost area for our food and paper waste, stock up on sawdust, to keep the chicken coop clean and warm, and buy extra chicken food. We have been wanting, for quite some time, to change our lighting from regular bulbs to LED but LED is expensive. Read More→
