October Delivery



This month was a big success. We delivered many needed items to the orphanage and it would not have been possible with two big donations that came from the United States. We need to send a big overseas thank you to:

- Mother & daughter business partners, Conchy Bretos & Pilar Carvajal from MIA Consulting. They sent a $300 USD donation and are planning to donate again very soon.

- Newlywed couple Marta & Connor Kirsch from New York City. At their recent wedding they opted to make a $400 USD donation to the program in lieu of wedding favors for guests. What a great idea! We are really happy they did. Above is a photo of the card they distributed to the guests at the wedding.

Along with Sante's monthly donation we were able to buy all these great things:
- Diapers (700)
- Soy Formula (5 cans)
- Baby Bottles (20)
- Baby Bottle Nipples (20)
- Baby Bumbo Chairs
- New Cribs for the Nursery (3)

The diapers were delivered today and it came at the perfect time, as they had run out. The babies are hopefully comfy and cozy in the diapers right now.

The new cribs arrive on Friday and I hope to be there for the delivery to take photos of the updated nursery.

Until next time....and thank you to our supporters.

Here are some pictures from our visits this month:
