The objective
of these child protection centers is to serve as a
shelter during the day for the children that wonder
through the streets.
In
this center, the children will find nourishment, clothing,
shoes, sports activities, school courses, medical
and psychological attention which will allow them
to break the cycle of dependency and will convert
them into productive citizens in the future. Every
stage of the “Centro de Proteccion al Nino”
has a cost of US$100,000 (one-hundred thousand dollars).
The total construction of the first center is US$500,000
(five-hundred thousand dollars).
The members
and volunteers of Abandoned Children in Nicaragua
Foundation have worked arduously in the fundraising
of money, and the organization has activities such
as the Annual Christmas Luncheon and the raffle of
a Honda vehicle that is realized every year in Southern
California.
These
efforts have collected a total of nearly US$200,000
that were used in the construction of the First Stage
and the Second Stage of the Child Protection Center
in Sabana Grande, near the city of Managua, Nicaragua.
