It is hard to believe that next month we will celebrate 15 years of serving families of low income, single working mothers in Central Mexico. In these 15 years we have grown and developed and created a very special place. In July we completed our beautiful new volunteer house. And, our children get to play on our new playground which was completed in September.
We have grown over the years from serving 21 children when we opened, to now having 96 children from 82 families. In fact, some of the children who are now in our care, are grandchildren of our very first moms. Grandma Erika tells us that she was so happy that her daughter knew exactly where to get the help she needed as a single mom. Rosita´s son Iker is now with us marking three generations in our care.
In these 15 years we have come to celebrate mothers who working toward things never dreamed. We celebrate children who value their education. We celebrate international volunteers who have joined in our work. We celebrate the simplicity of a smile of a child who is happy to be a part of Casa de los Ángeles.
We are pleased to announce that in February Bonnie Watt will take on the role of Executive Director for Casa de los Ángeles. This is really a good thing for Casa de los Ángeles. To have new energy and new ideas while we continue to serve those in our care will be for the benefit of everyone . . . children, moms, staff and volunteers.
