Why We Do What We Do


 Special thanks are in order to COTA volunteer Nate Whipple from Colorado. Nate is an active and enthusiastic member of our fundraising committee. Those of you who do not know Nate can be reassured that if Nate puts his trust in an organization, you can also. By creating the power point above, he was able to explain what we do and why we do it. The timing for explaining Children of the Americas to prospective donors is perfect. Our annual fundraiser continues until the end of December.
Donations made during this important period will be used for our upcoming medical/surgical/dental team in Salama, Guatemala. This child was helped by COTA because donors understood that a life lived with chronic health issues is a life lived with missing potential. Our donation portal can be found here: GoodGiving Challenge. After watching the powerpoint, and visiting our donation portal, if you still need some inspiration, you will want to remember that Guatemala has the highest rate of pediatric malnutrition in all of Central America.

The vitamins and formula we donate on our medial team are life-saving. The infant on the left did not survive her health issues, which were exacerbated by malnutrition. With your help, we can help get 2016 off to a better start for other Guatemalan children.
