And so much more...

There were many more activities and sports events, all culminating with a Mass on the 12th.

Agua Park

The 3rd of December we took the children to a water park in Escuintla named Agua Park and they really enjoyed it. After lunch we all left for Chimaltenango, where we lit the anniversary torch. All the kids really love this activity because they have an opportunity to go to a place outside of Santa Apolonia.

Anniversary

After all the educational activities, like the ending of the school year and graduations, everyone participated in different committees to celebrate our 23rd anniversary. We started on the 2nd of December with the inauguration of the young girl representatives of Los Hogares.

Endings

7 students from Los Hogares finished grade school and 8 finished high school. The 8 who have completed their studies at the high school level are now in charge of their education; doing necessary investigations and enrollments to begin their careers in January. Go forward boys and girls. We love you so much.

The End of Pre-school

The 4 pre-school students are very happy to have celebrated the end of their school year. Now they are ready to start grade school in January. Congratulations.

Graduates

October 23rd was the Graduation Mass for the young men and women of Los Hogares. We are especially happy and grateful for the benefactors who made the dreams of our students a reality. May God bless Ana, Bartola, Marta, Lorena, Lourdes, William, and David. Let this triumph be only the beginning of many obtained in your life.

Biotopo del Quetzal

On the 20th of October, a number of the Hogares team enjoyed a retreat on a trip to Cobán alta Verapaz. In our travels, we visited the Biotopo del Quetzal, a place designated to the conservation of our national bird, in Baja Verapaz, much like the Grutas del Rey Marcos (Caves of King Mark). In San Juan Chamelco. The trip to the biotope was beautiful; the beginning was exciting and easygoing-scaling a mountain and crossing a river various times. We found relaxation at the waterfalls. It is a marvelous place for nature lovers.
