¨Changing the life of a child, one child at a time. ¨

Virginia Olson Invited our kids to participate in the opening program of Playa Grande Condominiums. It was a marvelous presentation of the kids of Casa Hogar los Angelitos in company of the kids of Casa de la Cultura.

The Campo Verde College arranged an appointment to make a Posada (fellowship reunion) with the boys and girls at the casa hogar. Previously the high school teenagers have helped us in a generous manner; they voluntarily donated their valuable time as a support to our installations; consequently they experienced a great deal of time with the kids.

Everybody had fun with the competitive games, piñatas and candy; they rejoiced greatly with the games played by the high school students of Campo Verde.

Sponsorship Posada

The teenagers danced and presented for the sponsors. To the kids Dancing is a way of expressing their gratitude. The sponsors were pleased and enjoyed the presentation they adapted well to our program.

Jorge, Andres & Francisco as well as all the children are thankful for all the support they receive from their sponsors, and they take their time to present a dance known as ¨Las Comaltecas¨.

Laura y Juan Pablo presented a dance known as Jarabe Tapatio. Both kids are intelligent, affable, and they offer to help in what ever is necessary.

Good bye Old year, Welcome New year 2009 !!!!

To say good bye to the old year the staff participated in a drama. Both the staff and the children reflected on what the old year left and proposed goals and objectives for the new year 2009.

For the Goodbye party of the old year the menu was pork meat and deep fried meat. The Lunch preparation was a lot of work, the teenagers helped put it together. The teenagers demonstrated great teamwork abilities.

Raul Lepe in support of Luis Hernandez, Roberto Lara and the teenagers helped deep fry the meat.
What a nice way to say good bye to the old year and receive the new year; with a father and son fellowhip.

Alejandra, Brenda and Rodrigo eat their lunch after serving everyone else first.
They did a great job at distributing food to all the younger kids.

Happy Birth Date to :

The Teenagers show off their gifts.

Our princess enjoyed their Babies, dolls, and we can´t forget their fashion glasses.

Gift´s of Love ...Diciembre 2008

One of the programs at Casa Hogar los Angelitos is “Gifts of Love” or “Regalo de Amor”. This program began in 2006 with the objective of allowing individuals to give a monetary donation making it possible for each child to be given a special gift at Christmas. We begin promoting this program three months in advance, and anyone can make a specific donation for this purpose.

On Christmas Eve the children of Casa Hogar los Angelitos receive their gifts and enjoy a full day of festivities. Parents of the children are invited to the casa, and they each bring one thing to contribute to the buffet dinner. The children so look forward to the traditional Mexican foods like tamales, atole, Christmas salad, and a Christmas pie called jericaya! For entertainment they play different types of games and enjoy candy from pinata’s, but the most exciting moment is when the time comes to open the presents. They gather around the Christmas tree that is decorated with their homemade ornaments, and every child wants to be the first to receive their gift! They often include a gift of necessity like shoes or clothing, but also a fun gift they desire as well. Before the youngest children at the casa are put to bed that evening they bring baby Jesus and lay him down under the tree to sleep with the angels. It is a sweet, special gesture much like the gesture of those who give to this program, and to our little angels.

Our annual Christmas celebration with friends and family is a cherished tradition for all who are present, and we thank you for caring about our children. We ask that you pray for these children and the many thousands of other children who live each day in desperate and dangerous situations.

Shopping for love

The Christmas season is approaching quickly, and thoughts turn to shopping for loved ones . . . As you begin, we’d like to share with you that The Children’s Foundation is excited to be registered on GoodShop.com. It is an online marketplace that allows you to choose from hundreds of popular merchants. The experience of shopping through GoodShop is exactly the same as going to the retailer’s websites directly. What’s different is that each time you make a purchase on GoodShop.com a percentage of that purchase can benefit our organization! All you have to do is simply choose The Children’s Foundation as your cause. In addition, you can begin to utilize GoodSearch.com as your search engine of choice. Not only will you get great search results but GoodSearch will make a donation to The Children’s Foundation as well.

We also have been given another wonderful fundraising opportunity by nationally acclaimed artist and Children’s Foundation supporter, Tom Dubois. At “Triune Art” they are on a mission from God to provide their patrons with pictures in Christ, and The Children’s Foundation is being registered to receive 25% of every purchase made in our name. Please browse their website at http://www.triuneart.org/ to see their beautiful, visual saving moments bearing witness to the ONLY true God in the TRIUNE name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an individual or congregation to purchase true art by a true master!

As we enter 2009 we hope these will be ongoing and successful fundraising ventures for us, and one that will be easy for everyone to participate in. We would love to ask that you begin now to search and shop on our behalf. Thank you. Happy Holiday season.

Love Ministries

Our team is out, the truck is loaded and ready to go to the immigrant camp.

The donations we received are shared with them. They come from WallMart; such as, bread, vegetables, fruit, and clothing. Shoes and clothing were donated by the community.

Thank you for your generous donations!!!!

Every 15 days Casa Hogar Los Angelitos makes donations to natives from Guerrero. The donation is made up of edibles; such as, bread, fruit, vegetables and water. As well as, clothing, shoes and blankets.

(right) Margarita, daughter of immigrant parents, is happy in her innocence. She doesn’t worry of what she will dress or what she will eat, and if her buddies will approve of her dress apparel
She is happy to receive a pair of sandals and a set of clothing specially; she gives a spectacular smile when she receives a green dress with flowers.

(above) Roberto is distributing a pair of Jeans to Alejandro; who gladly accepts them.
Alejandro is the only child who understands and speaks spanish with little difficulty. The other children seem to understand, but don't speak spanish.

Alberto (center), one of the kids of CHLA, has gone a few times to help out with the donation drop off.
We are glad that he is willing to help out, and that he has the opportunity to live this experience.
It helps him value life as it is, and helps him recognize the world from a different persfective.

Migrant families gather together on the ground to eat.
They are nomadic people, and when they are in Manzanillo, we extend our hands and aid them in ways that it is possible for us.

Of course this would not be possible with out your help and support.
On behalf of all the children and Staff,
Thank you again, for your contributions!!!!!!

Remember September

REMEMBER SEPTEMBER!!!

On August 18th the kids began their 2008-2009 school year.

Motivation:

They study on a daily basis with teacher Garcia Cardenas.
The stars are to motivate them; each one that completes their homework receives a sticker on the star.
The purpose is to receive a prize at the end of the month for who ever collects the most stickers.

Yareli is working on her homework while the teacher Garcia Cardenas helps out her partner Laura.

(Right) What is she thinking about?
Maybe, she is verifying if her sums and subtractions are correct?

Casa Hogar los Angelitos A.C
Ministerios de Amor.

Our founder went with our young kids to a “violin orchestra in Manzanillo, Colima.” Rodrigo, Andres, Artemio, Brenda, Azaarel, Maria, and Ms. Nancy Nystrom. A day of learning and a lot of fun!




The magic in the different music workshops that we provide to our kids has helped them to have great advances in their lives.


Flor and her sister Lupita love art and drawing. They wish to share them with you. Look how beautiful she draws!
