Dancing in the Rain!

So much is happening at Casa Hogar these days that it is hard to keep up!

In addition to the weekly routine of school, church and the like, the children have dentists, doctors, and hair stylists donating their time and expertise lately. You can learn more about this activity on our Facebook page.

The extended Mulege community continues to amaze us.

Bill, our volunteer builder, has been crafting shelving for storage. Word got out that a few of the children were under the weather, so a crate of fresh oranges suddenly appeared! Soon after, much needed winter clothes were donated.

Each gift was greatly needed, and the timing was impeccable.

In the meantime, isn’t it fun to dance in the rain? A spontaneous fund raising event popped up this past Saturday on Playa el Burro. Although there were times of torrential rain, a good time was had by all.

Fast Eddie and the Slow Learners and Bertha’s Beach Club Restaurant got together to host a benefit concert for Casa Hogar. Several other local musicians got in on the act and jammed as well.

A few of our favorite Coyote Beach personalities ran a 50-50 raffle that raised a lot of money (especially when the winners donate their winnings right back!) A local artist donated a painting for a silent auction.

Together the event raised a whole bunch of cash in just one afternoon.

As a result, Laura and the children will have groceries for the foreseeable future. In addition, we now have many more people who know about Casa Hogar.

Big gratitude goes out to all who were involved in this wonderful event.
