As a special activity during the Semana Santa vacation break, the children from Refugio Infantil Santa Esperanza, enjoyed spending a day at a Chico’s ranch outside of El Tuito, an authentically Mexican town south of Puerto Vallarta.  The children loved running in the open spaces, playing games, and picking fruit from the trees.  And, the delicious tacos “al pastor” prepared right at the ranch by a local taco stand owner were a major hit with everyone.

The Children’s Shelter of Hope Foundation would like to thank Mayan Rentals for its generous donation of $1000. The donation was designated for a new washer and dryer at Pasitos and will be put to good use. On the behalf of the children and employees at Pasitos … thank you!

We are excited to announce the launching of our new website.  Thanks to the diligent work of Dylan, our Treasurer and Communications Coordinator, plus all of our board members, we have a fresh new look which features completely updated information about our foundation and projects, a Blog, connections to Facebook and Twitter, and much more.  Check us out right away at http://cshf-us.org. Please let us know what you think of our new site by sending an email to info@cshf-us.org  We are proud of what we have put together; however, we are ALWAYS open to your comments and suggestions.

Whenever we give money to a worthy cause, we do it with the faith that somewhere, somehow, someone is going to benefit from our donation. And that makes us feel good.  But imagine how much joy we would feel if we could see at least a photo of the person who was being helped and if we knew something about that person and their needs.

 

That is exactly what the 10×10 program provides:  photos and information about a specific child at the Refugio who is being helped by the CSHF. For $10.00 a month, or $120.00 a year, each donor has a personal connection with an individual child.
