How Would You Feel?
How would you feel if your home was surrounded by such severe political and societal instability that you had no assurance that anything you knew today would be the same tomorrow?

A recent letter from our director for ICC Congo, Désiré Murhima, outlines just how difficult the situation that has besieged our children’s village has become.

What’s In The Next Qué Pasa?
We have received a letter from Anabela Alejos, our development director in Guatemala, that contained a testimony from Victoria, a young lady who grew up at our Los Pinos Children’s Village in Guatemala. Following is an excerpt:

“I arrived when I was very little at Los Pinos. I was one of the smallest ones, so they sent me to the Receiving Center in Guatemala City. In that place I began to learn the most wonderful thing that caused a change in my life.”

You can read Victoria’s testimony about her life at Los Pinos and much more in the August 2013 Qué Pasa. Look for it to be in your mailbox soon!

We truly would love to hear your story! Please tell us about your experience as a sponsor. Send an email or letter to Doug Congleton, ICC’s executive director, relating your personal journey while sponsoring an ICC child.

ICC’s Online Gift Catalog Is Now Open!
ICC now has an online Gift Catalog from which you may directly support your favorite ICC project! Your purchase in August may be from you or as a gift on behalf of a friend.

This online gift catalog is a simple and wonderful way to provide much-needed items for our ICC families. Please take the time to peruse our catalog and support our kids!


ICC Logo None of this work would be possible without those who have committed their efforts to saving and changing the lives of “His Kids.” The children of ICC want to thank you from the bottom of their hearts for making a difference in their lives.

Occasionally when we call for funds for a specific need we receive more in donations than we requested. In those instances when we have received more money than we solicited, those funds will be placed in “Alcyon’s Angel Fund.”
