The small boy who was once left as an orphan has heeded God’s voice, as he and his wife Mariela, have become a father and mother to children who no longer have a home, or who, due to circumstances, can no longer live at home. Thanks to the help of many sponsors, Pan de Vida was able to open its first children’s home in Arequipa in the fall of 2014. The home is named: “Casa Alegria” (House of Joy).
Casa Alegria can offer a safe home environment to a maximum of eighteen vulnerable children. With a team of people, including a child psychologist, these children are given all of the care they need. The children are also introduced to God’s love, so that restoration can occur in their young lives.
Casa Alegria does not receive any kind of governmental support, and neither do the children’s restaurants. They depend entirely on financial support through gifts and donations. Every child in the home has a personal sponsor, who promises to pray for the child and send regular letters. You can sponsor a child for €50.- a month. If you would like to receive more information, please do not hesitate to contact us by filling out the contact form, or by sending us an e-mail at: info@pandevida.nl.
