NOTE: I think I've sent Nancy plenty of sponsors so no need anymore. Thanks to all!
I'm posting this on behalf of Nancy Hoffman, who many of you know from her various adoption oriented services.
If you'd like to help out wiht this child, just say so in a commment and I will put you in touch wiht Nancy...
"The granddaughter of a client is 5. I had a sponsor for her to go to school. Through a (bad) set of circumstances and miscommunications, the sponsorship fell through.
I have paid for her inscription and her first 3 months of school (Q400. / $50. per month, though the exchange rate is dropping...) I am looking for a sponsor or a bunch of sponsors to cover the rest of the year (april - oct = $350.) - any extra would be great, but that is my basic need."
Posted by Kevin at March 29, 2010 08:58 AMI would like to continue to sponsor children in Guatemala. Previously (for almost 20 years) I have done it through Holt, but they no longer have a sponsorship connection. I am having trouble finding a new organization through which I can sponsor children. Any information of non-missionary, legitimate organization for Guatemalan sponsorship will be appreciated.

Posted by: Kerri at March 31, 2010 01:08 PMI would highly recommend www.princeofpeacegt.com. It is the Prince of Peace orphanage for girls in Guatemala. My husband and I have been there several times. Our former paster is one of the directors of the home.

Posted by: twinkie at April 1, 2010 11:53 AMWe sponsor two children through www.cfcausa.org. Though a Christian based organization, it is not a mission program.
Posted by: Lilian at April 1, 2010 01:54 PMcommonhope.org. My friend volunteered there for a couple of years. It may also be Christian based but they also are not a mission program.
