Christmas Gift Bags on Their Way
More than 5880 Christmas gift bags are on their way to very poor children in Nicaragua. They will be presented to the children by Tin Roof Foundation volunteers who will make the trip December 19-26. All gift items, warehouse space, and packing boxes have been donated by corporate sponsors and individuals. Volunteers worked long hours in the warehouse packing the individual bags. Each bag includes - ooops, that would be telling, but here's a tip: there are much needed hygiene items, school supplies, and fun things, too.
"Awesome, Fun" Fundraiser at Cincinnati Zoo
Don’t miss this one! Tin Roof Foundation’s first annual fundraiser blowout, this one at the Cincinnati Zoo. No name for this fete yet, but we do have a date-November 4. It’s going to be a spectacular and fun-filled evening. Plans are mostly secret until they’re firmed up, but we’ve already reserved a private room for the celebration and have volunteers very busy arranging an evening that will rival the best Cincinnati has ever seen. Would you believe a smorgasbord of scrumptious food, live and silent auctions of interesting and valuable, one-of-kind gifts, sports tickets, artwork, gift certificates, and authentic Nicaraguan craft items. .... Ooops, didn’t mean to spill the beans. Be there or be sorry! And the best part: Thanks to major donors and corporate sponsors, the cost of the evening will be offset and all money for admission goes directly to the children of the poorest of the poor in Nicaragua.
Urgent Help Needed
For the Children of LaDalia
We
are desperately in need of donations to help sustain our
work with the children of the remote LaDalia district in the
mountains of Nicaragua. These children live amidst the
extreme poverty caused by the collapse of the Nicaraguan
coffee market and the abandonment of many of the coffee
plantations by their owners.
The children are hungry—always
hungry. Many suffer from malnutrition that wastes their tiny
bodies and leaves them prey to disease. Their homes are made
of black plastic tarps and sticks scavenged from the
countryside. Their water supply is hauled from a polluted
well or stream and stored in a metal drum set outside the
door of their shack, a breeding ground for internal
parasites.
