Pictured are some of the incredible offerings u can win in the raffle I am putting together to fundraise for Ciudad de Los Niños orphanage in Oaxaca. To read about it please refer to my first tianguis post! I am sharing a glimpse (last vid) of a document shared with me by the director of the orphanage, explaining its history and the funding it needs to improve the facilities and programmes for the children. he permitted me to share a bit about them and hold this fundraiser, so I hope u join us to celebrate our children, the child in our heart, and make a small but significant impact for the Ciudad de los Niños.

ABOUT La Cuidad de Los Niños
Ciudad de Los Niños was built 66 years ago and has housed many children, survived earthquakes, and still stands strong. Its mission is to restore the rights of children, protect and provide clothing, shelter, education, and medical attention to newborns – 18 year olds whose circumstances did not allow them to grow up with their relatives. La Ciudad de Los Niños does not receive help from the government and depends on the kindness of donors/community for their goals, re-construction plans, and orphanage needs (from the construction of more rooms and reconfiguration of space, repairs, to basic fresh food, and more). Let’s give back to the hardworking caretakers and the kids by contributing to their goal.
