Give school & love to abandoned girls in Mexico

PICNICS AND SOLIDARITY

Solidarity means constructing chains; human chains of love which can change the world.

I mean, this is what we think it means, it is not what the dictionary will tell you! We can say that is how we visualize this word in Puerta Abierta and how we visualize you, dear Donor. Because we feel that with your support for their education you’re holding our girl’s hands, thanks, we feel your presence always.

It is said that the most important thing in educating children is giving them the example through our behaviour;  it is not easy at all to give a “ quality education“ to our children. Well, here in Puerta Abierta we want to thank you because we think that YOUR EXAMPLE of solidarity has taught our little girls to hold each other hands. They support each other, they love each other. You’ll be proud to know that Karla, one of our girls, is currently attending a school near Mexico City where she’s learning professional gastronomy. It is a big success for her, because just after having finished high school she had to pass a test to be accepted. As I mentioned, the others girls supported her emotionally. They really acted like family, which makes us extremely happy.

And now that Karla is there they can visit her once a month and… guess what? The last time they went they prepared her favourite sandwiches and had a beautiful picnic. I can imagine that what I’m telling you may seem a small thing but believe me that it’s a wonderful thing for these children; because to learn the solidarity of love, to accept to be part of a human chain of love, for children like ours who have been emotionally hurt, is a big challenge.

So dear Donor.. once again THANK YOU for being an example for our little girls: thanks to you they have a quality education, thanks to you they know what unconditional love and solidarity mean .

I hope you can join us for the next picnic with Karla ! You’re invited of course!!!

With all our love

Hi! My name is Belen! I’m 8 years old, I live in Puerta Abierta and I attend a bilingual school thanks to you! In our foster home they love me very much but I know that all the possibilities I have are because of you and your generosity !

Do you really have an idea of the big opportunity you are giving me? It is all possible because you believed in me and in the others girls living with me, careless of the fact that we passed through a very big “soul hurricane “. You’re so brave and so confident, and this is so because you are changing the world by believing in us, children.

I want to be honest with you, I didn’t write this letter all by myself! !! They helped me at school, but I promise you that soon I’ll be able to write you without making any mistakes.

Dear donors, PLEASE! Allow me to keep on studying in this bilingual college! My care keeper Lucy told me English is very important, therefore I‘d love to continue learning!

How can you help me? It’s really really easy! On June 15^th Global Giving will organize a BONUS DAY matching the donations given to us! What do you have to do?
