Seeds of Love

The mission of Semillas de Amor Children's Village is to provide care, high-level education, and solid futures for Guatemala's at-risk children. In addition to consisting of a home for children who are unable to remain with their families, plans for the children's village include a school, a clinic, and a daycare facility for working mothers. The facility is in the early stages of construction. We are currently seeking donors and volunteers interested in helping make this dream a reality.

The Capital Campaign begins and we need your help!

Dear Friends of Seeds of Love and Semillas de Amor,


Many of you know that the Semillas de Amor Children’s Village has been a long time dream of mine. I am thrilled to tell you that the dream is coming true, not just for me, more importantly, for many, many poor Guatemalan children. We started construction, on the first building, the first week of February and hope to be able to complete construction in the summer of 2007.

Building started with $70,000.00 from Seeds of Love. It will be a relief financially and emotionally to have our own home and not to worry about finding a place to live, landlords, rent and moving 55+ children every two to three years.

We are currently undergoing a Capital Campaign to finish construction. Donations made to our capital campaign are tax deductible through our 501 (c)(3) foundation, Seeds of Love. Please see the Blog post "Building Plans for the Children's Home in Parramos" for more construction information.

At the entrance to our children’s home will be the wall of gratitude, which will have tiles hand painted by our children.
--Silver tile for a $1000.00 donation
--Gold tile for a $2500.00 donation
--Jade tile for a $5000.00 donation.
Donations of $7500.00 and more will build one of our rooms and will have a plaque with the name of the donor at the entrance to the room.

Please think of how you might be able to help achieve this dream for so many impoverished Guatemalan children. We invite all families, foundations, schools, business groups, service clubs and anyone who is interested in joining our campaign.

Needless to say, we are very happy to receive any donation, no matter what amount, to help construct the children’s village.

All donations can be sent to:
Seeds of Love
101 E. Church Street, STE 100
Tarboro, NC 27886

Thank you for your continued support of Semillas de Amor and the children of Guatemala.

Sincerely,

Nancy
