Tuesday was a phenomenal day. One of the barriers to education for young women is having to deal with their menstrual cycle. Our volunteer Marg teamed up with the Charity Days for Girls and coordinated and funded the making of 115 menstrual kits. Loving Arms arranged two meetings of 50 women each. As a result, 100 women and girls would go out into the community with knowledge that will improve lives. Find out more about how Loving Arms wants to celebrate

On the first day our February team member Marg held a sewing class for some of the local women who quickly learned how to make the bag you see in the pictures below. These bags are made of Guatemalan fabric and Loving Arms hopes to be able to sell these bags so that the family can make some income! The ladies were quick learners and we even had a helper from our kindergarten class with us as well!

On behalf of everyone at Loving Arms, I would like to extend the warmest Christmas greetings to you and your families. Thank you to everyone who gave their time to make volunteer trips to Guatemala; to those who helped us put together fundraising events, to those who donated, sponsored children, purchased Guatemalan handmade goods (or all three!), and everyone else in between. Without your generosity we wouldn't have been able to make 2017 as special

Everyone here at Loving Arms would like to thank the generosity of all who helped with our Annual Poinsettia Fundraiser this year!

Once again thank you for opening your hearts this holiday season and keep an eye on the blog and Facebook for more ways to help change the lives

On Tuesday, November 28th, 2017, you can join the social media movement to give back in the midst of all of your Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping. This holiday season consider those who need it the most. Look through our previous blog posts describing the work our wonderful volunteers have done to help the less fortunate Guatemalan villagers. Our focus is to use funds to help put together a classroom for a new wave of students to be educated

Here's the latest on what our most recent volunteer team has been up to on their trip down to Guatemala! The team's first event was to attend the graduation of the kindergartners to Grade 1. It was an eye opening day at the Centre of Hope where each graduate had multiple family members on hand to celebrate their big day with them. It was also a chance for Loving Arms President Linda Coghlin and Guatemalan Director Alicia Mendez to acknowledge the

Loving Arms would like to thank the team of Barb, Jeff, Fern, Leslie Ann, Cindy, and Tamara. During their time in Guatemala, they helped set up health clinics for locals, medical workshops for nursing students, as well as participating in our adopt-a-home program. Their hard work was not unnoticed as they aided more sick people per nurse than any other medical team we've ever had! We only had three nurses in the clinics while others worked in the

A huge THANK YOU for your support and attendance during the 2017 Annual Golf Tournament fundraiser for Loving Arms.  The event was a huge success netting over $22,000 for Loving Arms, which was above our aggressive target of $20,000. One of the big helpers this year were the donors who put up their hands to donate funds for teachers, books and computers.  Thank you very much.
