What's going on at Dulce Refugio

     I know that many people have passed through this orphanage and left their mark at Dulce Refugio. I want to keep all of you informed about what is going on with the kids and the construction process. Please remember to keep us in your thoughts and prayers; I hope you continue to help us out here at Casa Hogar Dulce Refugio. Gracias amigos!

November has been a busy month and many things have been happening at Dulce Refugio. I returned from the US on November 2nd and got right back at it. I was able to make 8 guardrails for the 3rd floor, which only leaves one more to go before the entire 3rd floor is done.

Well there are a lot of new faces at the Casa Hogar. We said hello to Sergio:

Praise God we got some more help! Elizabeth and her 4 sons have moved into the boys dorm and will be helping out around the orphanage. Their names are Abner, Aaron, Abimail and Abraham.

We said goodbye to Carmen. She was one of the older girls here at Dulce Refugio. DIF, the Mexican govt. agency that deals with children, relocated her. We wish her the best.

Angeles, one of the older girls at the Casa, celebrated her sweet 16 this November. 

 

(Buuut it wasn't really a big deal, like a sweet 16 back home, because here in Mexico the special birthday celebration for a girl is 15, her "quinceañera").

We received bad news that one of Marce's (director of the orphanage) friends was diagnosed with cancer. Marce decided to have a special dinner in her honor while the kids performed and gave her roses. It was good to put a smile on her face for the evening. We should keep her in our prayers.

We had the 1st, of many, Christmas parties...with a huge astro jump! This is the time of year that is full of fun and activities for the kids. Many generous businesses, schools, private groups, etc. choose to bless the Casa and donate their time and resources to help our ministry. We are very appreciative of any help and support we can receive.

Some of the kids have been taking Tae Kwon Do classes for a while now. Thanks to a generous donation all of them were able to receive their own uniform.

 

(They are getting ready for their exam on Tuesday, December 13th to advance from white belt to yellow belt).
