WE NEED YOU IN 2014; PLEASE MAKE A TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION TODAY OR TOMORROW

 THESE PICTURES ARE OF A TEAM THAT CAME AT THANKSGIVING. THE PICTURES EPITOMIZE A LOT OF WHAT WE ARE ABOUT AND WHY WE NEED YOU.
HERE IS THE FIRST. THE TEAM IS WORKING  IN ONE OF OUR MAYAN COMMUNITIES PUTTING UP LAMINA ON HOMES THAT LEAK RAIN ON TOP OF THE DIRT FLOORS. OR THEIR BEDS.

SOME OF THE 300 KIDS WE GIVE  LUNCH AND A TUTOR 

THE CROWDS THAT TURN OUT WHENEVER THERE IS A PARTY OR A DISTRIBUTION OF FORMULA, INCAPARINA,  CLOTHES, OR SHOES. MOST OF THESE PEOPLE REALLY NEED WHAT THEY RECEIVE. WHEN YOUR EDUCATIONAL LEVEL IS 2ND GRADE IT IS HARD TO MAKE MORE THAN ABOUT $1.00 OR 2.00 A DAY

 CASA DE SION HAS ABOUT 10 EMPLOYEES IN GUATEMALA AND WHEN THE ORPHANAGE OPENS THAT WILL JUMP TO 20. PEOPLE WHO WOULD NOT HAVE A JOB WITHOUT US. HERE ARE TWO. JUANA ON THE LEFT. A 70 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO HAS WORKED FOR ME FOR 10 YEARS. NOT MANY OTHERS WOULD EMPLOYEE HER, BUT ALL WHO KNOW JUANA LOVE HER. IRVIN IS ON THE RIGHT. HE LOOKS 12 BUT IS REALLY 27. HE HAS A TEACHING CERT. AND IS IN LAW SCHOOL ON THE WEEK-ENDS.

 OUR MAMA AND TOT PROGRAM. 300 MAMAS AND ABOUT 600 TOTS AND INFANTS. THEY RECEIVE FORMULA AND INCAPARINA SUPPLEMENTATION . AS WELL AS EDUCATION IN NUTRITION, BREAST FEEDING, PARENTING AND CHRISTLIKE BEHAVIOR. THEY ARE PART OF OUR CLOTHING AND SHOE DISTRIBUTIONS

SOME KIDS AND VOLUNTEERS AT OUR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM

PROGRAMS THAT WERE NOT MENTIONED ARE THE MEDICALLY FRAGILE CHILDREN AND ADULTS THAT WE WORK WITH AND FINANCE MEDICAL TRAVEL, MEDICINES AND REHABS FOR

OR THE ORPHANAGE THAT WILL SOON HAVE CHILDREN IN IT FOR THOSE THAT CAN NOT STAY IN THEIR HOMES BECAUSE OF HORRIFIC ABUSE AND ABANDONMENT OR NO FAMILY. BY THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER, THE ORPHANAGE WILL PROBABLY BE FULL OF LITTLE RUG RATS THAT WILL COST ABOUT $300.00 A MONTH TO SUPPORT. WE NEED SPONSORS FOR THEM NOW.

OR THE 100 KIDS WHO WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE IN SCHOOL WITHOUT THE HELP THEY GET FROM US. SCHOOL IS NOT FREE IN THIS COUNTRY. RIGHT NOW WE ONLY HAVE 15 KIDS SPONSORED.

WITH ALL THESE THINGS WE NEED YOUR HELP. HERE ARE SOME IDEAS.

A. SEND FORMULA OR CLOTHING OR ANYTHING USEFUL TO MY USA ADDRESS

B. GATHER A TEAM [ WE LOVE ALL KINDS] AND COME VISIT US. STAY IN OUR VOLUNTEER HOUSING AND ALL THE MONEY EXCEPT WHAT WE TAKE OUT FOR YOUR FOOD, GOES INTO OUR PROGRAMS.

C. GO TO www.casadesion.org/sponsorme and sponsor a school kid.

D. GO TO  www.casadesion.org and click the donate button and donate

E. SEND ME CASH IN THE MAIL AND I WILL PUT IT IN THE 501C3 ACCOUNT.

F. DONATE NOW AND USE IT AS A TAX DEDUCTION FOR YOUR BUSINESS OR PERSONAL TAXES.

G. PRAY ALWAYS FOR OUR FINANCIAL NEEDS TO BE MET AND OUR LIVES TO BE KEPT SAFE AND SPIRITUALLY FED.

MAY YOU BE BLESSED FOR YOUR HELP IN 2013 AND CONTINUE IT AS ABLE IN 2014. IT WILL HELP YOU BE SPIRITUALLY FED.

WHY YOU SHOULD CHOOSE CASA DE SION/SHFC FOR YOUR CHARITABLE GIVING

 WE, AT CASA DE SION/SHFC, HOPE YOU WILL CHOOSE US AND OUR PROGRAMS FOR YOUR HOLIDAY GIVING. THERE ARE MANY REASONS FOR THIS. WE GIVE 100% OF ALL DONATIONS TO OUR PROGRAMS SO YOUR MONEY GOES WHERE YOU WANT IT TO.

COME VISIT US AT OUR BEAUTIFUL LOCATION NEAR LAKE ATITLAN AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.
BELOW ARE SOME OF OUR PROGRAMS

MANY OF YOU KNOW THE IDEA OF OPENING AN ORPHANAGE CAME UP WHEN THIS BEAUTIFUL BABY WAS OFFERED TO ME FOR SALE. OF COURSE, I SAID NO AND THEN WE WORKED WITH THE FAMILY SO SHE COULD STAY WITH HER BIOLOGICAL FAMILY. BUT WE KNEW THERE WERE OTHERS WHO COULD NOT STAY IN THEIR FAMILIES AND WE STARTED THE PROCESS TO OPEN AN ORPHANAGE. WE SHOULD HAVE CHILDREN BY THE MIDDLE OF MARCH AND ARE NOW GETTING THE ROOMS READY AND HIRING THE STAFF.

 TO THE RIGHT ARE 8 OF THE 100 12,13 AND 14 YEAR OLDS WE PROMISED WE WOULD HELP COME UP WITH THE FUNDING SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO QUIT SCHOOL AND WORK IN THE FIELDS FOR $20.00 A WEEK. WE HAVE 12 SPONSORED. PLEASE PARTNER WITH US IN THIS AND CHANGE A LIFE WHILE YOU ENRICH YOUR HEART. WE HAVE A SPECIAL WEBPAGE FOR THIS. www.casadesion.org/sponsorme

WE FEED AND CLOTHE ABOUT 300 MAMAS AND ABOUT 600 TOTS AND INFANTS IN OUR MAMA/TOT PROGRAM. WE SUPPLY FORMULA FOR THE UNDER ONE SET WHOSE MAMAS DO NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH BREAST MILK [ DUH ALL OF THEM ] AND INCAPARINA FOR THE 1 TO 5 YEARS OLDS.
WE ALSO DO CLOTHING AND SHOE DISTRIBUTIONS AND TRAININGS ON VARIOUS THINGS OF INTEREST. PARENTING. HUMAN RIGHTS. CHILD ABUSE. CHARACTER BUILDING. ETC.
I AM GOING TO GUATEMALA RIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS AND WILL TAKE ANY CANS OF POWDERED FORMULA SENT TO ME .

 WE WORK HARD TO GET HELP FOR THE MEDICALLY FRAGILE.  WE HAVE ABOUT 35 PEOPLE ON THIS LIST. MOST ARE CHILDREN. NONE OF THEIR CAREGIVERS CAN AFFORD EVEN THE TRANSPORTION MONEY TO GET THEIR KID TO THE DOCTOR, MUCH LESS PAY FOR TREATMENTS AND MEDICINE.

 

 WE WORK TO CUT COSTS EVERYWHERE WE CAN. SO WE ORGANICALLY RAISE A LOT OF THE FOOD USED IN THE PROGRAMS. THE KIDS IN THE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM AS WELL AS THE ONES IN THE NEW ORPHANAGE LEARN HOW TO GROW HEALTHY FOODS IN A HEALTHY WAY. AND THEY LEARN HOW TO GIVE BACK. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF OUR PROGRAMS. EVERYONE GIVES WHERE THEY ARE ABLE TO GIVE.

 WE HAVE A SMALL CLINIC ON OUR COMMUNITY PROPERTY. WE LOVE HAVING MEDICAL AND DENTAL TEAMS COME DOWN AND GIVE SERVICE TO OUR MAYAN FRIENDS. IF THE TEAMS STAY IN OUR VOLUNTEER HOUSING ALL MONEY THEY PAY [ EXCEPT FOR THEIR FOOD ] GOES BACK INTO OUR PROGRAMS. YOU NEVER LACK FOR PATIENTS IF YOU DO A MEDICAL TEAM NOR DO YOU LACK FOR A HEARTWARMING EXPERIENCE.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST WE FEED ABOUT 300 ELEMENTARY STUDENTS 3 TIMES A WEEK AND HAVE TEACHERS WHO TUTOR WITH THEM FOR 3 HOURS A DAY. WE KNOW THE WAY OUT OF POVERTY IS THRU HEALTHY MINDS AND BODIES AND EDUCATION.








WE NEED MORE PEOPLE AND CORPORATIONS TO PARTNER WITH US ON THESE PROGRAMS. WE LOVE THESE PEOPLE AND SACRIFICE OUR MONEY AND OUR TIME FOR THEM. IN EXCHANGE WE GET WONDERFUL HEARTWARMING FEELINGS OF OUR PURPOSE IN LIFE. YOU CAN GET THESE TOO.

THANKS AND MERRY CHRISTMAS
VICKI DALIA
DIRECTOR OF SAFE HOMES FOR CHILDREN AND CASA DE SION

We  are growing in lots of ways. As you can see the veggie organic gardens get bigger everyday. We are planning for them to be the vegetables used in all of the 5000 meals a month we now prepare for our Mayan kids in our feeding programs. With the orphanage this will jump to 35,000 meals a month. WOW that is scary. Pray our gardens produce well. We are even growing our own black beans. 

Our third floor is getting built and will be ready for our Los Robles teams starting in the spring. 

We have all our staff in place for the orphanage except the social worker and the doctor. We hope to have them hired soon.

But the most important thing we need now are orphan sponsors. I know this is easier to get once we have the orphans. But I can tell you from past experience something about them. They will have mostly been abused. Some quite horrifically. They will be scared. They will be little or big. They will be kids. They will be loved and kept safe.

We pray that you will use some of your holiday money to sponsor an orphan or a child who wants to go onto school and help break the poverty cycle their mayan family is in. We pray you will choose us at www.casadesion.org
