Casa David
To be fully funded monthly, each of our houses needs one House Sponsor ($2,000/month) and 12 Child and Family Sponsors ($120/month each). Casa David currently has a House Sponsor but is in need of additional Child and Family Sponsors. To see how close Casa David is to reaching full funding from Child and Family Sponsors, check the progress bar below.
Casa David’s house parents, Sergio and Vivian, began serving as house parents in 2024 after having previously served as the gate guards. They joined house helper, Luis, who also works in the school as the art teacher. Sergio and Vivian have two sons and one daughter who share their parents with a group of 10 boys from ages 7 to 17. They also have a dog named Dory who keeps the boys entertained and gives them responsibility.
The boys in this house are very active and can be found all across campus playing soccer, volleyball and basketball, or playing on the playground. These boys need to be doing something at all times and can become bored very easily, so Sergio often takes them to explore the woods on campus. They play hide and seek, and use their imaginations pretending to be in the movie Indiana Jones.
Vivian is one of the best cooks in Guatemala and often prepares typical Guatemalan cuisine for the boys. She finds ways for the boys to help in the kitchen and learn to cook. During the week, the boys wind down playing various board games and card games. They love playing games that work their brains and help develop thinking skills. Weekends are reserved for relaxing and watching movies. That is, until the boys get bored and want to play outside again. We are grateful for Sergio and Vivian and their endless energy they have to care for these boys.
