We Did It!

For almost 6 weeks you joined us daily to vote for Caroline’s Promise to receive a Kindermusik New Beginnings Grant. There were several days when we thought we didn’t have a chance. But you responded by inviting your friends to participate! Our partners in Guatemala got involved as well and people began to hear about Casita Adonai and how God is using this school to reclaim hope for orphans. It was a long contest but you stuck it out with us and it was worth it! We came in 2nd and received $1000 to build a library. Our Summer mission teams will complete the project in July and by the fall our kids and their families will be enjoying books!

In December we saw first hand how precious books are to the children at Casita. Our Christmas team was able to give each child their very own book. These were simple Scholastic paperback books in Spanish, but the looks on the kids’ and parents’ faces told the story. It is rare for a family to have even one book in their home. Our prayer is that the library will not only give the kids a love for reading, but that it will be used to educate the parents as well.

Thank you for making a difference with your votes! Now we need to fill the library with quality books. If you would like to contribute toward this project, visit our Donation page and choose Guatemala Orphan Projects.

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!
