Seeds of Love: July 2007

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.

Building Continues Despite Lots of Rain!

We continue to move forward with our construction in Parramos. We have had lots of rain so the construction has been a bit slower. It really is amazing to see the progress and we have had lots of visitors to the site. The photos don't do the construction justice.
