Asociación Jennystar ONG  -  Christmas 2 0 0 7 - Navidad 2 0 0 7

JennyStar DVD Rentals supports, with your movie rentals and our "profits", these children all year round (click to read more).  We pay monthly support for their education, school supplies, clothes for the children, plus health cover for the children and their parents, as well as contributions toward their houses.  For their birthdays, the get shoes.  We do all this through "Common Hope", which here in Guatemala is known as "Familias de Esperanza", who channel the funds to the families and have social workers who supervise that the children stay at school and any building and other supplies are properly used.  The condition for staying in the program is that the children attend school.  Jennifer and ourselves also visit the families to make sure all is well. 

In addition to our regular monthly support, we also are collecting gifts for Christmas ... see below.  Click to see the same page for 2006 and donations for 2008.

Clients donated money during the 2007 Christmas season, for the children sponsored by JennyStar DVD Rentals. 
Our clients donated gifts and Q1,350 during the 2006 Christmas season and Q4,050 for Christmas 2007.  With the money donated, we have bought each family NINE months of food bags from Familias de Esperanza.  Each bag costs Q150, for a total of Q450 for each child's family.   Each bag contains 10 pounds of corn, 4 pounds of beans, 1 gallon of oil, 1 can with spices, 2 pounds of rice, 2 pounds of pasta, 2 pounds of sugar, 2 pounds of oats, 2 pounds of incaparina, 1 pound of coffee, 3 soaps and 3 detergents.   We delivered to each child the gifts that were donated to their Christmas stockings that we had in the shop and we will be doing that again at the beginning of 2008 ... see photos here.  T H A N K   Y O U !!!
