I wanted to share photos with you from an exciting day of celebration at El Canyon down in Nicaragua - an orphanage that we help support. 

El Canyon just celebrated with Eliezer, Cinthia, Julissa, Luhan, and Marcos as they graduated from 6th grade! In a country where only about 30% of the kids graduate from the 6th grade, we're excited to watch these five kids excel in their education! Each one comes from a background of poverty and abandonment that ought to have left them in the '70% group' of kids who never graduated - but because of the support that we've provided to our partners at El Canyon, and the opportunity and encouragement that the orphanage offers to each child there, all five of the kids have received their diplomas!

We just wanted to make sure you knew how your support is changing lives, and put a face to the transformation that is taking place in these children.  They're all off to high school now!

Thank you for your ongoing support - we're so grateful for you and the children you're impacting.
