GIVING A HAND UP NOT A HAND OUT

 We try really hard to help the Mayans we serve to become more self-sufficient. We feed starving children because they can not feed themselves and their parents have no means to buy the food. Now while they are young is a critical developmental window. If they don't get the nutrition now, it can cause permanent damage.But we do require that any one who receives our services gives back. We work to raise all the food for our programs and raise it organically. Families that we serve are required to help in our hugh community gardens. Students that receive scholarships have to help in the gardens as well as with cleaning and washing clothes and working with the volunteers. We want it to be a principle of Casa de Sion that we are all sharing in our abundances. You, our partners, have an abundance of time and or money; the Mayans have an abundance of need.  Well now I will let the pictures speak for themselves
