CASA DE NIÑOS - WE ARE SO BLESSED!

Along with the faithful giving of people in the United States, many people and businesses in Mexico have begun to take an interest in the children who call Niños de Mexico their home.

This is a great cause for joy! There is a new sense of responsibility among the Mexican people to care for children who have been orphaned, abandoned or abused and are in great need. This was certainly not the case in the past. 

Mexicans are demonstrating their concern and compassion to the children from their own country in a variety of ways. Financially, the extra support helps us expand the number of homes and ultimately allows us to care for more children who are  in desperate circumstances. 

Here are some examples of how our children are being blessed by individuals and businesses here in Mexico:

• A local taco stand invited children of the institution for tacos over Christmas break.
• A local chicken distributor has given us 55 pounds of chicken each week for the past 3 years.
• A foundation in Mexico City gave us 1/2 liter of milk per child per day for almost 2 years.
• The Mexican Tourism department organized several outings with different groups of children. (To Acapulco, Visiting touristic sites in Mexico City, tickets for the recent NFL game in Mexico City...)
• Local Walmarts and other corporations provided additional gifts for Christmas or Kings Day to all of our children
• I am really excited to announce that a local convenience store group (OXXO) is doing another roundup campaign March 1 - May 31 to benefit the Niños children! Oxxo raised nearly $24,000 through people rounding up their purchases in 2015! Please keep this campaign in your prayers!

Thank you for your faithful prayers, giving and participation in the work of Niños. Our prayer is that our children will have the opportunity to have a life, blessed by God, as they make Niños their home.

May God continue to bless you and use you to accomplish His will here and around the world!

In His service,
Steve Ross
P.S. In Mexico, Valentine's Day is called The Day of Love and Friendship. It is a fun day for the children!
