Our Mission as Godparents
To provide a guiding force in the children's lives through quality
relationships between Godparents and children. To sponsor their schooling, and additional programs which provide for individual challenges to each child, both academically and socially, The group's mission is to provide within each child the hope of realizing his or her individual dreams, a desire for learning and living, and a sense of gratitude and respect for others. Many Godparents have commited to university expenses if their child qualifies. We have one boy in university now.
Changing Children's Lives
Godparents are couples who reside in Chapala Lakeside area, that wish to become emotionally invololved with a child. It is a commmitment that isnot taken lightly. Financially they contribute to the child’s school expenses, and buy them clothes and personal items. In addition Godparents participate in the child’s birthday and Christmas. Godparents take their child on an outing at least once a month. The Mexican government has strict guidlines as to who may qualify as Godparents.
Sponsors are non-residents and residents that wish to sponsor a child, but are not involved personally. Their contributtion is used to pay to the child’s education expense, including uniforms, school and sports shoes, backpacks, admission fees etc. Basically anything relating to attending school. Some sponsors also contribute for birthday and Christmas gifts.
