2013 Orphanage Trip Update
|
OUR ORPHANAGE TRIPS IN 2012 have been very popular as every bus was sold out with long wait lists. The kids truly look forward to your visit and appreciate the time you spend with them.
Starting with the February 16 trip to El Faro & Los Angelitos, we will increase the bus fee to $50.00 per person. Transportation, food, and craft costs have skyrocketed and we are not covering our trip expenses. This is our first increase in 7 years and the additional funds will allow us to continue the trips.
We are also creating an online donation page for each trip that has a goal of $2000 for orphanage food after our visit. Before we depart, we will do a ceremony with the children to let them know how much YOU raised to help.
- February 16 - El Faro/Los Angelitos - DONATION PAGE - March 2 - Hacienda - DONATION PAGE Thank you for understanding, see you on the bus to visit the kids in 2013. |

"Everybody can be great. Because everybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve... You don't need to know the second theory thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." - Martin Luther King
