New Year, Same Goals

Delivering Christmas food baskets to underserved communities

The Girasoles on a Holiday outreach project

It is hard to believe we are already into the second week of 2025. Time seems to fly by.

Although every new year marks a milestone of change, our focus has remained the same for nearly thirty years. We are bridge builders and plan to build even more collaborative partnerships in 2025.

Our emphasis on building “centers of excellence” means our work must focus on dual roles—serving and sustaining. On the serving side of our focus, we are wholly committed to providing the most comprehensive and healing environments for every child we are privileged to care for in our Casa Girasoles and Aldea homes for formerly abandoned boys. We continuously refine our efforts by listening to our supporters and the people we serve. We know our work is predicated on a healthy team of caring professionals – and we invest in the growth and development of all our staff.

We know feedback and monitoring of our efforts are required. To this end, our efforts in 2025 will be spent reviewing and analyzing program outcomes. Our organization receives a vast amount of its funding from private support. We are responsible to our donors to use every dollar they generously invest in HBI to maximize the impact of our mission. This responsibility is something we take very seriously.

Our focus remains unchanged as we chart a path into this new year. We are committed to championing children, families, and the communities that care for them. With your support, we are building a world where every child can access a life built on health, hope, home, and purpose.

It’s a new year, and our goals remain the same.
