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.

Flying through the trees

Today we took 8 kids from the children's home and two adults (three counting me but I took the pictures) to the Finca Filadelfia Canopy Express tour. What a treat. The kids had no idea what we were going to do once we loaded up in the old army truck and headed up a very bumpy road to the top of the mountain. The guides were incredible with the kids and we didn't have one child refuse to zip down the mountain so everyone was able to share the experience. We had a blast and although there were some pretty scared looking faces as they were getting set up with harnesses and helmets. At the end of the line their faces had changed to big smiles and it was clear to see their sense of accomplishment. What a treat for all of us. If you come to Guatemala you must try the tour it is not to be missed.

What an incredible experience for the kids! I love that Semillas lets their children experience life and explore their beautiful country. Someday when we return to Guatemala with our own Guatemalan sweeties, I would love to experience this!
