24 December 2007 - Yesterday a group of expats from San Juan del Sur spent the morning with the orphans in San Jorge. Santa was present to give out toys to the boys and girls. Each children received several presents. Afterwards the children had fun with the piñata which ultimately showered them with sweet candies. The NPH orphanage is home to 40 children with ages ranging from less than a year to 8. For the past three years, the San Juan del Sur group has visited the orphanage at Christmastime.
