We are happy to let you know that the kindergarten children, the young girls and the middle school boys are are enjoying their new houses at Casa San Salvador in Miacatlàn. It's a great endeavour, and and endless joy, for the whole NPH family.
Family is a strong bond at NPH, as Rafaèl Bermudez, National Director of NPH Mexico, has recently declared.
Rafael was a small child when he arrived to NPH accompanied by five of his older siblings. He has inspired the children and youths of NPH Mexico during the past thirteen years.
For “Rafa”, as everybody calls him, NPH is a real family. “When children arrive, we give them safety; it´s a second chance in life which was originally denied to them due to many reasons or circumstances within their own families. Once they are with us, they receive all the love and values of a true family,” he comments. For more than 50 years Father William Wasson dedicated his life to watch over the children’s well-being, instilling in them values such as love, responsibility, work and above all, faith and service to others.
The values and traditions transmitted by Father Wasson have not changed since he is no longer with us. Rafa says that the environment and family activities are the same, and we try to continuously implement more programs so that biological siblings can enjoy more time together and thus generate better relationships. Family integration is achieved by spending time together, and that happens every day at NPH.
We are a family integrated by more than 700 pequeños, thus we have many celebrations throughout the year like “Quinceañeras” (celebration for youth on their 15th birthdays), Godparents’ Day, Children’s Day, among others.
Rafa’s favorite celebration is Graduation Day because it reflects all the collaborators’ hard work, and above all, the support and love of benefactors and godparents.
"We know that we are doing things well, because each child has a defined life project. In the end, when they leave NPH, they reproduce everything they learned in the community where they are assimilated," Rafa concludes.
After all, our family is like any other. We prepare our children giving them the necessary tools so that when the time comes for them to be independent, they know how to lead their own strong life.
Thank you for supporting the NPH Mexico Family!
