Program sponsorship:
Become one of our sponsorship, sponsor an individual child
or the general community program at the Guanin Center in la
Piedra. Because it takes a community to meet all of any individual
child's needs, you may choose, instead of sponsoring an individual
child, to aid the general community program. Money donated
through program sponsorship is pooled and used to fund development
in the communities of La Piedra--where sponsored children
live. This provides the Center Cultural Guanin, Inc. field
staff and local volunteers with the resources to carry out
long-term plans aimed at creating environments in which all
the children in this community can thrive.
We have 45 kids, 6 of them,
already sponsored by American and Cuban family. They are
special boys and girls who desperately needs your love and
support. No child should be without food, drinking water,
shelter, education, or basic health care, for these are the
rights of all human beings. For just about $1 a day, we offer
you the opportunity to contribute to a just society-your donations
might even save one of the kid's lives! For just about $1
a day ($35 per month), you can ensure that a child in Villa
Mella or La Piedra is not denied his or her rights.
