Christmas is just around the corner, and this year IOU was excited to try something new for the holidays: homemade Christmas tree ornaments! Christmas trees aren’t quite as popular in Bolivia as they are in the States, but that’s what made the whole experience even more meaningful and fun. Last week we took a herd of very excited children from the orphanage in Frutillar up to the IOU guesthouse for some serious silliness and crafts. They spent lots of time carefully painting and decorating the ornaments, and were happy to be making something special for the people who love and support them a world away. Decked out in their holiday finest (bed sheets tied around their necks to keep their clothes clean) and perched on little thrones (phone books stacked in their chairs), the IOU kids created beautiful memories to hang from your trees this Christmas.
Starting December 5, the first 50 coffee orders from BoliviasBestCoffee.com—no matter the size of the order—will receive one free ornament enclosed with their purchase. Thanks in advance for all the coffee you drink to support this ministry, and your hearts for these little children. This is their way of saying thanks and giving back to YOU!
