The Smallest Kindness Multiplied

Nine year old Kayleigh Fiedler has a big heart! So, it didn't surprise her parents when she came to them and asked permission to have a lemonade stand to raise money for those who are less fortunate. Kayleigh organized her neighborhood friends to help with the lemonade stand, and then donated all the proceeds to the PAL Club in Guyana's Plastic City. She raised $24; that may not seem like a lot to us, but to the children in the PAL program, that money will give one of the students textbooks for an entire semester. Kayleigh has shown us that every person can make a difference in the lives of orphaned and and vulnerable children. Go Kayleigh!!

Not sure what PAL is? Caroline's Promise missionary, Angie Hemric has organized PAL(Partnership Achieves Learning) and is a tutoring and mentoring program in the desperately poor area of Plastic City. The children in Plastic City have adopted the motto "We will rise higher than we are right now" and as we work together, everyone will rise higher than the life that they wake up to each and every day. PAL instills the values of ownership and responsibility and teaches children to share, care and talk out feelings. In the two years since PAL began God has established a safe place for children to come every day and learn from one another.Click here to learn more about PAL and how you can make a difference!

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
