Posted on Feb 24, 2015

Thank you, thousands and thousands of thanks, to everyone who came to our benefit on Sunday! It was a huge success, in terms of money raised, inspiring entertainment, and good karma!

We are so grateful to have such wonderful benefactors, artists, and volunteers who support the work that we do. We hope that some of you who attended the event will visit us someday soon. The children love to meet new people!

Muchisimas gracias!
