Update on Casita Library, Computer Lab, & Roof


In the past year many of you have supported our projects at Casita Adonai. Whether you were part of a short term team, made a donation, prayed, or gave a gift in honor of someone at Christmas, you all were a part of making these projects possible. We wanted to thank you and update you on how your support is blessing the children at Casita.

In 2010 Caroline's Promise began the child sponsorship program at Casita. The ministry had been able to help them pay their teachers' salaries from time to time when the parents were not able to pay their tuition. It became clear that God was opening the door for us to help Casita Adonai become self sustaining and after meeting with the leaders in Guatemala it was determined that the best way to do this was through child sponsorship. Instead of "bailing" them out each month by paying teachers' salaries we could help them sustain their little school.

Each year since then Casita has been able to add a grade and currently there are 125 children in the school. In addition to child sponsorship our teams have been able to help with construction, training, medical, and educational needs. And you have made that possible!

This week our blog posts will highlight these projects!

The Library

We were sad to learn that most of the families at Casita do not have books in their homes. The school had very few books and asked us for a library. With the help of a grant from Kindermusik International and your donations we turned a closet into a library! It is now complete with over 200 books including many Christian materials. Our short term teams have worked hard to make the room inviting, organize the materials, and this summer we will provide lessons for the teachers on how to creatively use the resources.

The library is a blessing not only to Casita but to the members of the church. We are so thankful for your help and excited about how this addition will change lives! Thank you!

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!
