Sara Martens along with her husband and three children will embark on a bit of an adventure this December. They plan to travel to San Carlos, Mexico to volunteer with a local orphanage.

Ancla De Amor was founded in 2014 as a means to save and protect vulnerable children who are victims of drugs, violence, and often times abuse.

The Martens family will "test the waters" for a month, and Sara says if all goes well - their move to Mexico may be permanent! In the meantime, they will focus on helping with the construction of a new building at the orphanage, which in turn will allow them to save more children.

Those who wish to contribute monetarily to the orphanage can visit www.ancladeamor.com, or you may write a cheque to "Children of Hope". Sara says they are also trying to secure donations to purchase bicycles for the children this Christmas. If you'd like to find out more, you can email Sara: lynneypin@hotmail.com.
