| YUM! |

| I don't know many kids who don't love pizza! |
As we say our goodbyes to the children, it is important that
they know they will not be forgotten over the long summer season. This week
they will be treated to their monthly pizza party thanks to Barb and Jim, while
Tim and Ramie will share a short movie with them that features all of their
smiling faces.
We must tell you that these wonderful kids are in need of
ongoing support. Laura does a fantastic job of raising the children, but she
can’t do it alone. Over the past few months, the Friends of Casa Hogar has
raised thousands of pesos in support of these amazingly resilient children.

Thanks to our team of seasonal volunteers, we have also
improved the children’s home, but the truth is they continue to live in abject
poverty. Right now, it costs about
15,000 pesos each month to meet their basic needs. (At the current exchange
rate, that is about $1,000 USD.)
On this page you will also find a wish list of material
items that could benefit Laura and the children. Perhaps you could bring some
of these items with you on your next trip to Mulege. We will do our best to
keep this list updated, but if you are planning on a significant donation, please
contact us beforehand as there is a limited amount of space in the casa.

In the meantime, Casa Hogar’s biggest need is financial
support. Your cash donation will help to keep a roof over the children’s heads,
keep the electricity on, and the water pumping over the long hot summer months.
It will also allow the children to receive medical care and three meals a day.
Please click the link to the left to donate to the Friends
of Casa Hogar. We are supported 100% by dedicated volunteers, and 100% of your
donation will directly go to Casa Hogar.
If you would like to hold a benefit in your community to
support Casa Hogar and require additional details, please write to us at friendsofcasahogar@gmail.com.
Thanks to all the wonderful, amazing, talented and dedicated
volunteers who have touched the lives of our children. They will not forget the
love that has been expressed to them over these past few short months. By
sharing this page with your friends and family, we together can insure that
Casa Hogar is in good care, for a long time.
