Picaflor House Champions<\/h5>\n

We\u2019d like to say a huge thank you to our Picaflor House Champions - individuals and groups who have made a real difference to Picaflor House through one-off or ongoing donations. These gifts help us cover Picaflor House's running costs, address urgent and unforeseen challenges, and expand our programmes to help even more children in Oropesa.<\/p>\n

Anyone can become a Picaflor House Champion by donating<\/a> to help support our work!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Meet Our Supporters<\/h5>\n

It is thanks to the amazing support of all of our donors and volunteers that Picaflor House is able to continue its work, helping to give the children of Oropesa village a brighter future. So here we would like to introduce some of our great supporters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Lai Choi Kuen<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Choi came all the way from Singapore to volunteer at Picaflor House in 2013. She has been coming back every year since. Through a significant donation we were able to set up our much-needed kindergarten and nutrition programmes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

The kindergarten employs a full-time teacher and prepares up to 20 pre-school children to enter their first year of primary school. Typically care for these children falls onto their older siblings, so they were not able to attend Picaflor House. Choi set up this programme to reduce the childcare burden on local families as well as allow the siblings to recieve an education with us.<\/p>\n

Choi continues to offer financial support to the kindergarten, and she also provides funds for our nutrition programme. Because of her generosity we are able to provide all the children at Picaflor House with a lunch as well as a snack to go home with. We are grateful for her continued support throughout the years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Kristine de Bever<\/h5>\n

Kristine de Bever volunteered at Picaflor in October and November 2015 for five weeks. During her placement she assisted the project and teachers in English, kindergarten, geography and art classes.<\/p>\n

Originally from The Netherlands, but now having lived in Australia, France and Spain, Kristine certainly brought a range of insights, knowledge and skills to Picaflor during her time here. After she left Peru she was inspired to help Picaflor with much needed funds.<\/p>\n

We would therefore like to thank Kristine and her family\u2019s business, PacFood, for their continued and generous support of Picaflor. Each of their ongoing donations is vital in helping us achieve great things from year to year.\u00a0 Thank you to Kristine and PacFood!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Every year, the Picaflor House children enjoy their hot chocolate and sweet Christmas bread thanks to Kris and his team. Southern Crossings also help us to buy presents and goodies for the children who otherwise would not have an opportunity to celebrate this holiday.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Southern Crossings has become monthly donors to Picaflor House, something which we benefit from greatly. Monthly donations are a great way to provide on-going support to Picaflor House as we aim to achieve financial security and sustainability!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
