Casita Adonai

Casita Adonai is a Christian School in Guatemala City that Caroline's Promise partners with. The Wesleyan Church there, Iglesia Adonai is doing a great job, ministering in this difficult community and Casita Adonai is one of their main outreaches. Many of the children come from single parent homes or live with their grandparents. It is difficult for most to pay the tuition but they are desperate to keep their children out of the public schools where they become targets for local gangs.

We recently visited Casita Adonai to lay the foundation for a child sponsorship program. We were blessed to find that the church, school and parents are not sitting around, waiting on Americans to help them. They are using their gifts and creativity to raise funds for Casita and they are creating community through the process!

The teachers and parents worked together to have their Annual "Mercado". The parents provided special food for purchase and the teachers and children presented a wonderful program! They even had a contest where tickets were sold as votes to determine the King and Queen of the school!

God continues to bless this program and we are thrilled to be a part!

Where are they now? Sthefany

Hello, my name is Sthefany.   I am 16 years old and am currently in the 4th year of high school in Biological Sciences.  First of all I want to thank the Groves Family who sponsored me during my primary school period because thanks to them I was able to complete primary school.  I am also very grateful because although I did not meet my sponsors, I appreciated them very much for the support and help they contributed in my life.   It was a great blessing that Caroline's Promise can contribute great things in the life of a person.  The experience I had was totally great. I got to know places thanks to them and they also showed me their love through letters (letters that I still have), gifts and financial aid. I would really like to meet and know how my sponsors are and meet them in person and thank them personally.   And well, I think that these kinds of experiences make you grow as a person in all aspects and how wonderful that those kinds of people exist, s...

Where are they now? Cesy Samayoa

  Cesy, translating for Kaitlyn Our friend Cesy was too old to be in our child sponsorship program when we met her, but she definitely benefited from the program because two of her siblings were sponsored consistently.  And we benefited from knowing Cesy!  For years she would translate for our special programs.  I remember speaking to a group of moms years ago and Cesy translated for me.  She stayed for hours after the talk to help me minister to women.  One of those women had concerns about her son who clearly showed signs of ADHD.  Cesy helped me find natural ways to address his inattention and lack of focus and a year later that same Mom shared how Cesy's suggestions had helped! Cesy, we know how hard you have worked and we are incredibly proud of you!  Thank you for being a beautiful example to young women everywhere!
