Yard Sale This Saturday For Casita!

Wilson Community Church sent a team of 10 people to Guatemala June 21-29th for the 2nd year in a row. The team partnered with Caroline's Promise out of Kernersville, NC founded by Lisa and David Holbrook. While in Guatemala they worked at a school in the worse part of the city. 

Casita Adonia provides a Christian education to 125 children in grades pre-k through 6th. The school is over crowded and has no room to add additional classes.  Also, the current school is in rough condition (half the building is missing a roof and the other half has leak holes; water and power isn't safe; there is only a small room for the children to play, as it isn't safe for them to be outside for Physical Education). So Caroline's Promise has been working for the last year to raise $100,000 to build a new school for the children to attend. Currently, they have raised half of what is needed.

"These children captured the hearts of many on our team, so we want to help them continue their education." said Buffy Poole-team leader.  WCC's Guatemala missions is taking the step this Saturday to help raise the remaining funds.There will be a Yard Sale starting at 7am in the parking lot of Wilson Community Church. 100% of the proceeds will go toward the missions for Casita Adonia. Please come out and support this great cause. If you would like to make a donation you may mail them to Caroline's Promise 1950 Beeson Rd. Kernersville, NC  attn: building fund.

 If they want more information about WCC's Guatemala Missions they may contact Buffy Poole @t_bpoole@hotmail.com

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!
