Our young people in the prehispanic dance group made various presentations in our local area, they went to: Tecoman, Colima and Manzanillo. With the talent that this group has, soon they will be an international group!

Our group of little ones and intermediate children could not be left out. They had the chance to participate in some special events of their own: they visited the Sea Turtle Sanctuary in Cuyutlan and played in the beach of Santiago.

An experience of a lifetime!... was what our very own Brenda Lepe had this past month. When the Casa Hogar de los Angelitos gave Brenda a surprise in commemoration of her 15th birthday.

Who said that there aren´t artists in the Casa Hogar! In the first days of the year our founder, Nancy Nystrom iniciated a program to teach art to the children. The children enjoyed the program very much.

Of course!... We couldn´t leave out the photos of our young soccer stars. Congratulations... it´s true that they can do it.

You can sponsor a child.

Child Sponsorship Program
All of the children at Casa Hogar Los Angelitos are in our care because of extreme circumstances. Each child has a story and most are heartbreaking; victims of abandonment, abuse, severe neglect, extreme poverty and without hope.
Our child sponsor program means a

$40 per month commitment per child.

Through this sponsorship program you will have the opportunity to be a critical part of making a difference in the life of a child. Your contribution provides the opportunity for these children, in spite of previous conditions, to be able to live life in a new way, children whose lives are changed and who have hope for the future. You will help us provide the daily physical, educational, medical, emotional and spiritual needs of the children.

It has been said "children are the hope of the future,"

but there are children who are desperately

waiting to find the promise of hope.

You have the opportunity to be a part of providing hope for the children.
The need is tremendous, but one by one we are making a difference,

we are changing children's lives...Will you help?

Meet the kids!
