Christmas Gifts for the Children of Bolivia
Welcome to our Bolivian Christmas fundraising project, Navidad en Bolivia. I am excited to be able to offer you the opportunity to directly impact the life of one of 50 Bolivian children this Christmas.
Sponsor a child in Bolivia and receive a Christmas card to give to a loved one.
Your sponsorship will assist in the most critical needs being met for a Bolivian child this Christmas, buying for them clothes, shoes, school materials, or providing additional tuition, an eye-test or speech therapy.
Sponsorships range between US$10 and $100. Open donations are also welcome.
Step 1: Browse Sponsorships: The list below contains the remaining sponsorships available. Please take a moment to review the list, and make your selection! Further instructions can be found below.

Rene | 8 | Home Tuition: Some kids really struggle in their studies, and school here is sadly lacking. Gonzalo began primary school at age 10. He may complete primary school as a 16 year old. Zenobia is frustrated in her studies to the point of self-harm. René and Ivan also struggle to keep up. At the cost of $100 per month, the orphanage is able to fund a teacher who will work solely with these 4 children in daily classes at home. To make sponsorship more achievable, total cost has been divided into $50 items. | Month 1: | sponsored |

Margoth | 14 | Margot´s Special Day: Margot turns 15 on Christmas Day. In Bolivia, the 15th birthday is a coming of age, and more closely resembles a wedding! Sponsor Margot this Christmas by helping her to celebrate this special day with a dress, a nice gift, and fiesta. | sponsored | |
 |
All Children | - | Wardrobe/Dressers: Bolivia Children’s Mission is well overdue to install new wardrobes/dressers for the childrens’ bedrooms. These items received as donations in the past are now broken and irreparable. A set of built-in wardrobes/dressers in each room is a valuable addition to the home, and will remain functional for many years to come. |

All Children | - | Pool Fencing: While a swimming pool brings a great deal of enjoyment to the kids at BCMission, the orphanage must protect its children by erecting a fence around the pool as soon as possible.

More Info About Navidad En Bolivia
- At Christmas time, Bolivian orphanages struggle to find enough cash to provide even small gifts to their children. All 3 participating orphanages rely on donations to continue operation. What better time than to provide essential school materials, books, clothes, shoes, and toys for the year ahead.
- We will do our best to send your card in time for Christmas. Please assist us by sponsoring as soon as you can.
- All funds must be received by November 30, 2008.
OVERDUE PLEASE ARRANGE TRANSFER ASAP. - Each sponsorship item represents a Christmas card. If you purchase two sponsorship items we will send you two separate Christmas cards.
