Caroline's Promise News

A week or so ago was the first day of middle school for a lot of students and  their parents in our area. For the student it comes with first day pictures, first day outfits, first day excitement, and first day fears. Parents will have fears too...  Will they make friends? Will they eat a good lunch? Will they remember to bring all of their assignments home? Will they be bullied?  Those don't sound like small fears... especially the bullying part.  All valid questions.  I know a group of parents who sent their kids off to 6th grade at the beginning of this year. They have the same valid fears too.  Will they make friends? Will they eat a good lunch? Will they remember to bring all of their assignments home? Will they be bullied?   What will we do next year? Will I keep them home? Will they go to public school? Will they be in a gang? Will they be murdered by a gang? Will they be the murderer in a gang? Wait! Those are not the same questi...

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...
