Hurray! We are excited to report that construction began this Monday on the “Albuergue Emily,” which will house the families of children undergoing treatment at the National Institute for Cancer outside Asuncion, Paraguay.
Thanks to our donors and the hard work of our in-country partners, the San Peregrino Foundation, we were able to finalize purchase of the land this spring and begin phase one of construction. We hope to open the Albuergue within six months as a facility with 6 bedrooms and private baths, as well as a common area, backyard play area and garden, kitchen and living quarters for full-time overseers. This will be a huge quality of life improvement for the families, some of whom are currently sleeping on the hospital floors
