NPH GIVING TREE- Nuestros
Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) is an international organization that takes in
abandoned and orphaned children, providing a home and education. Here in Honduras, the NPH organization
provides for over 500 children in at large ranch near La Venta and home in
Tegucigalpa for severely handicapped children.
While many children at the ranch have aunts, uncles, or grandparents
that come to visit them and can provide some Christmas gifts, some children at
a ranch have no family to visit. It is
these children, whom we would like to provide for this Christmas. On the second floor of the secondary
building, a NPH Giving Tree will be set up.
If you wish to participate, choose a paper tree that has a child’s information
about his/her size for shoes or socks.
Purchase the new item and return it to Mrs. Agurcia’s Room (Rm. 7) by
Tuesday, December 8th, with the tree tag taped to it. Thank you for giving this Christmas!
