There are few countries in the world that show so much love for their children as they do in Mexico and the wonderful celebration of Día del Niño (Day of the Child) is just another expression of that love. Here at Casa de los Ángeles we have an annual party for our kids and it is always great fun. This year, thanks to you, we were able to afford two bouncy houses for the kids, oranges, watermelon, ice cream, and pizza --- special treats for children everywhere!
Berenice, one of our moms, did some great face painting on our children. Our volunteers helped prepare goody bags. Each child left with a big smile on their face, their arms full of candy and the sensation of bouncing all day long.
When Alicia´s mom picked her up at the end of the day, Alicia, with her butterfly face, looked up to her Mom and asked, ¨¿Podemos hacer esta otra vez?" Can we do this again? We would answer, yes indeed! As Casa de los Ángeles has been able to support our children for 16 years, we look forward to our celebrateion of Día del Niño next year as well!
But despite all the love and affection Mexicans have for their children, sadly more than 56% of children live in poverty. Without the generosity of good people like you, our children would never have been able to dream of such a wonderful Día del Niño. So we all say Muchas Gracias!
