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 4^th, 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!
