I remember the first Christmas that our daughter, Caroline celebrated with us.  We became a family on December 1, 2003 when her adoption from Guatemala was final.  That Christmas was extra special to say the least!  If you're like me you often wonder what life would have been like for your child if they had remained in Guatemala.  Even more, you probably wonder what your life would be like had you not been united with them! This Christmas we are offering a very special way for you to honor your child while helping kids in Guatemala who struggle daily.  Caroline's Promise is in the midst of constructing a 3 story school in Guatemala City.  Casita Adonai is home to 165 of the most vulnerable children in the area.  They not only receive a quality Christian education, but they receive food, safety, and lots of love!  Their parents are also assisted through  parent education and job skills training.  Hope is truly being reclaimed for kids...

Are you looking for a meaningful way to honor your loved ones this Christmas?  Our Gifts with a Purpose are perfect!  For each gift that you purchase we will provide you with a beautiful card to give to your loved one.   These items will be used in the new school that is being built in Guatemala.  The first floor of the building will be used beginning in January 2015 and we need your help to furnish the classrooms.  There are gifts from $25 and up.  What  a great way to honor your loved ones or remember someone special! Check out all of the gifts here.

As you know, this year’s Hope Grows 5K and Family Fun Run was a huge success!  Much of that success is due to the wonderful support we received from local individuals and organizations.  We want to thank them for the discounts and prize donations they provided to us.  Printing Partners Boni Russell Design Logo Wear Graphics Starbucks CR Beaver Constructions Inc.

Just think of it........leaving the cold, dreary, weather of January at home and hopping on a plane to warm, sunny, Guatemala.  Let's do it!  Our partners in Guatemala have asked us to send a team January 11 - 19, 2015.  They will be doing last minute work on the first floor of the new building so that they can accept the students on the first day of their new school year - January 20th!  There will lots of painting, light construction, and setting up of classrooms to be done.  And we need your help! We've reduced the cost of this trip to make it possible for people to join us.  $700 plus airfare (currently around $720) will cover everything you need! Contact us right away if you are interested! There will be a dedication of the first floor on Sunday, January 18.  If you would like to attend but cannot go for the entire week we are offering a different option.  Saturday, January 17 - Monday, January 19.  Cost will be $200 plus airfare...
