Kids at Casita love their new library



Last Spring we asked you to help us purchase books for the library at Casita Adonai and you came through!  Over 100 books were purchased and taken to Guatemala where our summer teams added them to the current collection.  The teachers on our teams worked hard to code all of the books by grade level and other members of our teams spruced the room up with paint, new furniture, and artwork by the students at Hayworth Christian School in High Point, NC.  A special highlight was when our teachers shared their experiences with the Casita teachers on how to best use the library and teaching kids to read. 






 The teachers at Casita are taking their students to the library regularly and report that this is often the highlight of their week.  Very few families have books in their homes because they are so expensive, so having a library is a treat!  We were even able to deliver adult books for our teachers to enjoy in their lounge.





Thank you for investing in our students and teachers at Casita Adonai.  We believe that education is one of the main factors in breaking cycles of poverty.  Thanks for helping us accomplish this!

We will continue collecting books throughout the year.  If you would like to participate, check out our library wish list here.

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...

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...
