We now have 35 children (including many infants) at the orphanage and they are thriving as they run in the grass, pick fruit on the trees, play soccer and eat together in the dining hall. They are adapting well and enjoying going to the local Jesus Maria school where they are making friends and learning and growing just as they should be. We are working hard to provide additional funds to the orphanage as we are hiring additional warm adults to take care and work with the children. The children make you smile with their fun and laughter. They love to give hugs and ask questions about their visitors when people come to visit. They are warm and welcoming and beautifully curious. Thank you for all of your support. Please donate if you can to Elevado Foundation as the funds go directly towards the food, care and staffing for the children. Any little bit helps! Thank you!
