Seeds of Love: BOOKS!!!!

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.

BOOKS!!!!

The children of Semillas de Amor were the fortunate recipients of a generous donation of Spanish books from Linda Smith, founder and president, of the non profit Reading Village in Boulder, Colorado. What a treat for all of us. Books are pure magic for so many of our children. Our older kids read to the youngest children daily. It works well because the older kids practice reading out loud and the little ones get to hear stories.

Our future goal for the children's village is to build a library that will be available for our children as well as children in the surrounding areas.

Thank you Linda and the Reading Village for your generous donation!! To read more about the Reading Village you can go to their blog at http://www.readingvillage.org

What an AWESOME Gift for the children. I love when you post especailly now when things are closed down....it does my heart good seeing the children left behind being in such wonderful hands and at a wonderful home. My heart breaks for them and myself as we really pray to adopt two more children from Guatemala in the future. Thanks Nancy for the work you do!
