The Meaning of Home

NPH Guatemala, Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos, is a home for over 330 children ranging from 15 months to 16 or 17 years. NPH provides a home for orphaned, abandoned and at-risk children and provides them with food, clothing, medical care and an education. Children are raised in this environment through the principles of love, security, sharing, work and responsibility. Everyone that lives here, from children, to tíos or tías (the people that live with the children and care for them), employees and volunteers are welcomed into this large family with open arms. Here are some pictures of the home!
