We have served over 300 children (and counting) in our school with education, meals, and healthcare. We provide summer school for hundreds, serve impoverished public school children with health care education, provide health care clinics (vision, women’s services, dental, pediatric clinics), award grants, employ local staff, and more. Education is the future of a person, a community, and a country.

Thank you all for giving me this opportunity to help my people. Thank you for giving the children a chance to have an education and for all of us to see a better tomorrow. May God bless the people of the United Sates of America and all the many kind people in other beautiful countries who have supported Casa de Sara and given us so many reasons to be thankful.

Happy Holidays!
With much love and gratitude,
