Though we have no opinion on the end of the third year of zero International adoptions. we were saddened to read that the weak effort to allow limited pilot program adoptions has been shelved indefinitely. Again, no opinion on adoptions, but we know of several beautiful healthy orphans now entering their fourth year of life with limited bonding experience.

Pinata Shopping with my friend the Social Worker
Certainly worth the 10 minute drive to buy Pinatas at the Parqueo de Colom. The prices were great and it was fun to see the creativity. Unfortunately, the drive back to the center was about an hour and a half because of all the traffic. Still worth it, the kids will have a blast!!!!

Request for Support
Please Give this Christmas to the Orphans of Guatemala
I am writing you during this holiday season to ask your support for some of the Orphans of Guatemala. We bring the love of Jesus Christ to some of the neediest children and minister to their souls, bodies and minds. Each dollar donated goes 100% to benefit these children with no administrative overhead expenses. Guatemala has been hit especially hard by the economic recession, Hurricane Agatha, lower philanthropic-governmental support and of course the suspension of all international adoptions.
This year, we have expanded the educational and physical therapies from 5 to 15 children. These are the most profoundly handicapped and most vulnerable children in the CRPN home. Profoundly low intelligence as well as psychiatric and neurological problems plague this group. Years of institutionalization and benign neglect have left them significantly below levels that similarly handicapped in the developed world enjoy.
The love of our Lord Jesus Christ has changed hearts and performed miracles. Little did we imagine a few short years ago that these kids would be such a profound calling. Each child is so very unique and special. Clearly God gives us such children as an opportunity to grow in Worship and Faith. In this brief letter, We`d like to tell you a bit about a few of these Blessed children.

Servant and Warrior Hearts
When God touches the hearts of people through Fundaniños, they are changed forever. Scott and Carrie Hunnicutt have been faithful volunteers at Fundaniños, and have recently returned for a 4-month stay! When asked about their heart for Fundaniños, here’s what they had to say:
What brought you to Fundaniños?
Simply put….God brought us to Fundaniños time and time again. Our opportunity to share God’s love with the children and staff here has been such a blessing to us. After earnest prayer and acting upon a nudge from God here we are! God is funny sometimes….A friend of a friend told us about Fundaniñosand how we should check it out if we were looking for a place to serve. Three years later and six trips to Fundaniños we are relishing in God’s plan for us to be here and serve in any way we can. Surely, only by the Grace of God is it that we are here. His direction and His leading......
