How Casita has changed and helped children


Over the last few years, we have been able to travel to Guatemala. It has been a pleasure to spend time with the teachers and children. Seeing how things are different from the schools we attend and being here is an eye opener. 

The school is a magical place, I think, for the kids. Seeing the school 7 years ago and now, it has changed dramatically. I remember when the school was just stones and wooden pillars, and the rain could fall into the classrooms. The school is a safe place for the kids to be kids, play, and learn. 

The kids today were really excited to see us. When we did Master Builder, the kids were quiet and paid attention. They showed us the same behavior in the classroom. The children had fun learning about Moses and the burning bush. They did each craft how they were told and had fun playing the games.

This really showed us that they are being well taken care of while in Casita. The impact we make on these children – whether donating, sponsoring, coming to share/visit – is that they know they are loved and prayed for daily by so many.

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!
