It’s time! 2024 Westfalia Orphanage Christmas party drive

 2024 Christmas is upon us and we’re in the middle of planning the 14th Westfalia Orphanage Christmas Party for the children in the mountains outside of Lima, Peru. But we need some help.

The children come from broken, abusive homes, abandonment or their families simply couldn’t afford to take care of them. These children have simple lives and don’t enjoy the regular fun children normally have such as going to the cinema or enjoying family vacations. They live in an orphanage, 4 children per room in bunks in the dry, dusty mountains of Cieneguilla, almost 2 hours outside of Lima, Peru and will be spending Christmas alone, without family. So we want to brighten up their Christmas and help them to experience a happy, loving time.

Each year we put on a traditional turkey lunch for the children to give them the Christmas experience of love and sharing. We drink the traditional ¨chicha morada¨ which is a traditional Peruvian drink made from Peruvian purple corn.

We organize a show, lots of games and activities, face painting, dancing and music.

And of course the best part is the presents. We give each child 2 gifts.

If you would like to help us please send a donation. Like always, any extra funds will go towards food and supplies. The orphanage’s food stocks are always low over the Christmas break so we also want to buy food provisions such as rice, beans, potatoes, meat, eggs and milk. Thank you for the assistance!
