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.

Update Parramos!

It has been over 10 days since I have been at the children's home in Parramos. A week ago Friday I had purchased, along with the help of several of our children, fruit trees to begin our orchard. Mangoes, plum, oranges, lemons, mandarinas, and many more. We have strawberry plants and Santos' hand grown bean plants. We are ready to move!!!!

Although our nightmare with PGN and the raids is not over it is also time to focus on the positive and what we have done and our beautiful home that is waiting for its children.

Movement continues, albeit, slowly on our electricity. We are hoping for the connection very, very soon. I don't think anything could boost my spirits more than seeing LIGHTS on in the children's home.

I took some photos when I went to Parramos today so you can see how beautiful and green everything has become.
