Can Anyone Help Me Help my Orphan Friends?
Hello Friends,
As you all know, for the past few years I have been very involved with volunteering for an orphanage in Nicaragua. I have visited the orphanage 4 times in the past 1 1/2 years, and am going for my 5th visit this May. I am going from May 10-May 30 and will be spending the 20 days at the Casa Bernabe orphanage in Veracruz, Nicaragua, a tiny barrio in Masaya, about 30 kilometers from Managua, the capital. I am trying to raise at least $1500 to do some fun activities with the kids while I am there. I am hoping to take the kids and staff to spend a day at the beach in San Juan del Sur and hopefully for a day at Hertilandia, a water park with water slides and a gigantic swimming pool. If anyone is willing to help donate towards these activities, I would be eternally grateful. Please note:
1. This is not an ORPHANetwork-sponsored trip, this is my own undertaking. However, I will be able to receipt all donations for tax purposes through Casa Bernabe Orphanage.
2. All donations will be used only for activities for the kids and will not go towards any of my own trip expenses. I am raising this money solely for the kids' activities so I can give them a chance to get away from the orphanage and spend some time just getting to play and be kids.
If it is on your heart to help me out with this, checks can be made out to Meg Rowe and can be sent to:
921 E. Piney Branch Dr. #101
Virginia Beach, VA 23451
and after May 1 can be sent to:
4704 Ashbury Ln.
Virginia Beach, VA 23464
Cash is fine as well. Thank you so much for your consideration of this. Working to help these kids and going to visit them has radically changed my life and has been an incredible experience for me. I have bonded with so many of the kids and the staff at the orphanage that they are my second family and the orphanage feels like my second home.
Thanks again, and I promise to send lots of pictures of the kids enjoying themselves at the beach and at the water park
