A Day at the Ranch

The children had the opportunity had the chance to spend a day at Rancho el Ciruelito... and what a marvelous day it was.

Taking Care of Our Planet

A group of the children of Casa Hogar los Angelitos took time out of their summer vacation to do their part to help take care of our planet. They cleaned up the garbage that had been contaminating the beaches in the area such as the Playa Grande in the Bara de Navidad.

After a few hours of work, the group of 15 young people rested and ate some delicious carne asada. Thank you to the patrons of the Playa Grande for letting us spend a marvelous day with you.

Luís and Roberto, taking care of the group of young people also participated in this activity, making this an extraordinary team.

Activities from February of 2008

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.
