Honor Your Mom by Sending a Mom to Camp!

One of the ways that Caroline’s Promise supports our partners in Guatemala is to invest in its leaders.  In the past we have offered camps and retreats for kids, teens, and young women.  2015 is the year that we will pour into the women!  We have a special mission team of ladies that will hit the ground running in June.  

Their first stop will be to take ten women who are leaders in our partner church on a retreat.  This event will be extra special as we pour into them, making sure that they are grounded in their relationship with Jesus and experiencing His love and healing.

Once we return to the city those ten leaders will join us and together we will have a retreat for women from the church and from the community of Gerona where they are planting a church.  Many of these women don’t have a bed to sleep in and often only have one simple meal a day.  And yet at this camp they will be safe, well fed, and loved on!  We can’t wait to see them bask in God’s presence and know that they are loved!


We are expecting God to do miracles in this week of ministry and we need your help!  We are looking for 75 sponsors who are willing to invest $25 each in the life of a mama in Guatemala.  This would be a great way to honor your mom on Mother’s Day!  Or perhaps you’re just a woman who believes in women.  Whatever your reason, we want to thank you in advance for showing love to our mamas in Guatemala. 

For information on how to donate by mail or online, visit our donation site by clicking here.  For giving online, choose the fund "Guatemala Orphan Projects" and in the comment box please write "Camp."

Be sure to note if you are making the donation in honor or memory of someone and give the address.  If you are giving more than $25 and honoring more than one person please write the names and addresses in the comment box or send us an email at lisaholbrook@carolinespromise.net.  We will send a card to the honoree, acknowledging the gift given in her honor.

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, such as Carolina's Pro

Mission team member's "idea" + Facebook Fundraiser = Jobs in San Nicolas

  Our last team to Guatemala was in November of 2019.  That seems impossible but it's true.   The primary focus of the team was a pediatric medical clinic that was hugely successful.  However, that wasn't the only seed that was planted that week in the community of San Nicolas.   Wanda King has been going to Guatemala with Caroline's Promise for years.  We can always count on her to bring hand sanitizer, goodie bags that she and her sister make for everyone, and lots of love!  One of the things I love most about Wanda is that she is willing to step in and do anything that is asked of her.  A few weeks before this trip she asked if she could bring a set of hair cutting supplies.  I didn't know if there was a need, but I knew that Wanda felt strongly that she should bring them and so I said "of course!"  Little did we know the impact that one idea would make.   Wanda spent most of that week teaching our partner, Monica how to cut hair.  We quickly realized that
