Dear Friends,
At the Daycare Christmas party a few days ago, Alejandra stood in front of a room full of children, teachers, parents and even Santa Claus. Her posture was straight and she waited ‘till all were quiet. Her voice was full of emotion. She spoke without notes as she thanked each teacher, Linda, Bill and myself, handing each one of us a card she had made. None knew of this nor had directed her to make this offer of appreciation from the children. At this moment as we heard the little ones clap their hands after she handed out each card we knew we all had made a huge difference in these children’s lives.
Today I want to thank those who without this fundraising newsletter have already contributed to the Roatan Daycare Center. I also want to urge those who are able to donate to do so. These are children who would otherwise “fall through the cracks.” They have become the stars of their class when they go on to public school!
Our children are the future of the island and these early years mean everything. For Honduran children of parents in need, your help is a gift for their whole lives.
We operate under the corporate umbrella of Island Friends Roatan Inc. (Non-profit EIN #20-8533416)
