  s part of a unique cultural exchange, The School of Creative Learning in Knoxville, TN held an art sale to raise money for Casa de Sara. The children in the school (ages 3-5) created beautiful works of art for the sale and raised $943.00. The children will vote on how to spend the money to help the children in Bolivia. In addition to the fundraiser, the children at the School of Creative Learning studied Bolivia, made a video of themselves to send to the kids in the Escuelita in Bolivia, and drew pictures for their new Bolivian friends. In exchange, the Bolivian children also made a video, sent pictures, and learned all about Tennessee and the USA!

In Bolivia, the graduation ceremony is often named in honor of a person that had a special influence on the students and staff (known as the “Promocion”) during their school year.The Casa de Sara Escuelita in Santa Cruz graduated the class of 2003 under the name of Janice H. Santoro. This high honor is bestowed at the discretion of the staff in Bolivia.We congratulate Janice Santoro and thank her for her very hard work and dedication.




A baby who is extremely ill in Clinica La Maternidad Perci Bolan (a local government hospital in Santa Cruz, Bolivia that is in great need) receives life saving care due to donations from Casa de Sara. Although the hospital had the tiny bed and partially working monitors, they had none of the cables and tubes needed to make everything work together. All of the tubing hooked to the machine and the baby were provided by Casa de Sara. A small donation...but one that saved a life.

Casa de Sara is a 501(c) 3 organization. All donations are 100% deductible.
