| Luncheon to Benefit the Regulations-Compliance for the Orphanage Villa Infantil |
|
Villa Infantil is located in a rural area near the small village of San Pedro Tesistan – about forty-five miles from Guadalajara on the south shore of Lake Chapala.
|
The orphanage was started in Guadalajara in 1996 and moved to this location in 2002. It is run with loving care by Madre Maria with the help of two other nuns. There are currently 23 children at the Villa aged 1 -13. In 2010, ten children were either adopted or able to return home to their families. The children are all brought to the Villa through the Department of Social Services and it is anticipated that 5 or more children will make the Villa their home by the end of this year.
In early July, 2011 Villa Infantil had its first comprehensive state inspection. The state presented Madre Maria with a list of new compliance items that must be met if the Villa is to operate as an orphanage after November 28, 2011. While many of the items were simple to address and have already been accomplished, some require substantial amounts of funding.
