Casa Hogar Los Angelitos - Dance Troupe, Sh Pk

The following is a message and invitation from PDG Judy Harcourt-Brown and Ron Brown:

Some of you might recall that I spoke at your club about Casa Hogar Los Angelitos (CHLA) orphanage that Ron and I are involved with in Manzanillo Mexico.  It is a very special and different kind of children's home than typical orphanages in Mexico and other developing or third world countries.  It was founded 22 years ago by Rotarian Nancy Nystrom.  It currently has 81 children, and is funded totally by donations - no government assistance.  The mission of CHLA and the methods used are designed to help each child Thrive, not just survive.  And to break the cycle of poverty by giving hope, love, care and the tools that lead to success for children who have come from desperate and hopeless situations.

Their expressive arts program includes dance.  The children begin at an early age to learn and perform Folkloric Mexican Dance, and their troupe is now known all across Mexico, some US states, and Alberta.  They performed in Edmonton in July 2014 to a sold out crowd, and will be coming here again this month.  They will be performing at Festival Place in Sherwood Park on Wednesday, September 20th, 7:00 pm, and at the MacLab Centre for Performing Arts in Leduc on Thursday, September 21st.  Tickets are only $25.00.   Everyone who attended the last time was blown away by the professionalism of these young people.  You can order tickets directly from the venues.  

Ron and I hope that you will join us.
