Make Christmas 2012 special for a child
Nuestro Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) is an international
organization that takes in abandoned and orphanged children, providing a home
and education. Here in Honduras, the NPH organization provides for over
500 children in at large ranch near La Venta and home in Tegucigalpa for
severly handicapped children. While many children at the ranch have
anuts, uncles, or grandparents that come to visit them and can provide some
Christmas gifts, some children at a ranch have no family to visit. It is
these children, whom we would like to provide for this Christmas.
On the second floor of the secondary building, a NPH Giving Tree
will be set up. Choose a paper tree that has a child’s information
about his/her size for shoes or socks. Purchase the new item and return
it to Mrs. Agurcia’s Room (Rm. 7) by Tuesday, December 4th, with the
tree tag taped to it. As well, there are tree tags for basic food items
that will be donated to the orphange. Cash donations will also be
accepted to provide shoes and socks for children whose trees were not
selected. Thank you for giving this Christmas!
