There are some children who can't go to school because they have never been registered and have no papers. There are lawyers trying to work on this, but everything takes a long time. There are student teachers that come there off and on to do their social services. At the moment no one is there. Also there is a Psychologist who comes once a week and sees as many children as she can, Lupita.

On Wednesdays some members of The Friendship Club come and they play with the children.

Aurora and Rocio are in charge of everything, and they are the nicest people on the planet. The children are given a number and their shoes have a number and when they take them off they have to be put back where the number is. The children shower in the night before bed, so in the morning they go to the clothes room and there is someone there to hand them some clothes. The clothes belong to everyone. No one has their own clothes.

The toys are numbered and kept track of. Each Barbie outfit has a number and has to be checked out. A prize is given to the person who takes the best care of the toys.

Generally Mr. Powers does a little party every 2 months for the children to celebrate their birthdays, but since he is out of town my family is doing the May and June birthdays this month.

You can come and visit the children from 11 AM-1PM and from 4PM-6PM. Hold the babies and play with the older children.
Call first 322 221 1908. Ask for Aurora or Rocio.

These children and babies come from critical situations due to extreme poverty, abandonment, abuse and loss of parents. The goal of Casa Hogar is to promote the integral development of the child and make him or her a productive member of society despite his situation.
