The Cathlin's Hutch Project!

It’s been almost two weeks since we got the bunnies for "Cathlin Hutch for the children of CCA" going. Since then not a day has passed without having some of the kids come over after school to clean their cages, feed them and play with them. Celia, Joana, Smarty, Natasha and Pepito are the five cute bunnies that are bringing a lot of joy and hope to these kids.
Through this program, we are teaching them the benefits of working hard and giving them the opportunity to make something better of their life and time, they are working on being economically self sufficient. It’s a real pleasure to see them happily working around the hutch and to hear them talking about how they will love and take good care of their own bunnies, when the time comes. Also it makes me understand that sometimes it is just a small effort that can change things and make the world better for someone else. Teaching them to work, to get what they need and want, is the best thing we can be doing for them, besides giving them an education.
In Haiti, we have a quote that says: Instead of giving me a fish everyday just teach me how to fish and I will feed myself. we are so thankful to you, those who are contributing with your time, money and knowledge to the achievement and success of that initiative, while their destinies were so tight and unsure. You are saving lives by helping these kids today, for they will be the men and women of tomorrow.
