A group of eight professionals including four attorneys and a CFO of a Fortune 30 company will be spending Thanksgiving week in Nicaragua on a orphan service trip facilitated by The Fatherless Foundation.
The group will be arriving in Managua, Nicaragua on Tuesday November 24th and departing on November 29th. They will be going to three orphanages, visiting over 100 children, and providing clothing, school supplies, and toys.
In addition to general orphan assistance, our group in conjunction Puedo Leer Library on Calle Santa Lucia, will be hosting a baseball clinic in the community of Granada. The Library has been very supportive in this endeavor and will be using the clinic to promote literacy by focusing on baseball books leading up to this event. Our group will be providing sports books, baseballs, bats, gloves and hats out to the children (many of whom have never owned their own baseball gloves or bats).
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to provide assistance to those orphans in Latin America and hope that many will find their forever families soon!
There is a great need for adoption in Nicaragua and throughout Latin America. The social and economic conditions in many of these areas combined with the high fertility rate causes many children to be orphaned or abandoned. Such children are in desprate need of a loving home. Please contact mark@mljadoption.com for more information about adoption from Latin America
