- July 2009 Mexican Orphanage Trip Review:
Molly and Drew visited the orphanage in Oaxaca to share
God's love with the boys, through an afternoon arts
project, and other needed supplies. Because of so many
person's generosity we were able to provide the
following:
- Seven bags of fresh groceries
- Two museum trips
- Birthday gift for one boy
- School supplies for two boys
- New shoes for 7 boys
- 100 pieces of clothes (donted by CLSC friends &
members)\
- Birthday Party supplies kit (for re-use each
month)
- Busfare for three underprivileged boys
- Afternoon icecream for everyone--several times
- About 40 rolls of TP & 2,500 napkins
- Afternoon arts project, with lessons on "Dreams
for the Future."
- We sponsored three sacred mini-concerts
by vocalist Ashana, from New Mexico.
Ashana’s masterful playing of the crystal toning bowls
weaves delicately with her voice for a transcendent
experience. Healing happened on many levels.
- AIDS Lifecycle event
$50 donation May, 2009
$30 donation June, 2008
- Donated over $242 to One World Children’s
Fund This organization empowers
disadvantaged children around the world coping with
poverty, illiteracy, famine, and violence. Part of our
donation was earmarked to help build a fence around a
girl’s orphanage in Uganda to protect them from the
nearby soldiers .
- Donated 90 pieces of clothing and groceries
to clothe and feed orphaned boys at Procasa Hogar de
Ninos Located in Oaxaca, one of the most
culturally rich states of Mexico, this small orphanage
assists boys who “fell through the cracks”. Many are
from abusive families and are now learning to stretch
their dreams further by getting an education today, so
they can build a life tomorrow. The story of how
CelebrateLIFE! connected to Elisabeth Tatum
is an amazing synchronicity that started as a
“prediction” and became a people-helping-people reality!

- $75 to VIDA to empower orphans.
Elisabeth Tatum founded VIDA after she visited Procasa
Hogar, walked in and saw rain puddles on the floors. The
need for assistance was obvious. In July, 2008,
CelebrateLIFE! co-founder, Rev. Drew Vogt, journeyed to
Oaxaca City to learn firsthand about the boys’ daily
challenges. The photos here show the current 10
residents in their safe “home” and adjusting to life.
Here is where they learn coping skills that may equip
them to be influential fathers of their own families
someday.
- OUR CURRENT PROJECTS:
- Assisting Rainbow World Fund’s Bus of Hope
delivering educational and medical supplies to
schools and orphanages of Tijuana, Mexico. We
provided much-needed school supplies and toiletries.
- Assisting Procasa Hogar de Ninos in Oaxaca,
Mexico with food, clothes, and sponsoring their
secondary education.
- Celebrate Life is now sponsoring Gabriel, an
orphan, for a full year of secondary education with
room and board. He is the 5th child we've directly
or indirectly sponsored. Rogelio, child #6, is being
sponsored by SpreadKindness.org, founded by one of
our Thursday Class graduates, Maria Haswell! Go
Maria!
