Wellspring International Outreach
The orphans come without birth certificates bearing their name, just a brief story of tragedy and neglect. Burned in a crib, left on a doorstep, or nearly drowned by a mentally unstable mother, all of the children at Hogar Belen carry their horrific nightmares as their only credentials.
As Sister Loretta approaches her 80th year, a time that most people hope to be comfortable in their rocking chairs, she is still raising anywhere from 150-300 children on a dilapidated farm that regularly has no running water. Responsible for housing, feeding, clothing and educating each one of them, Sister Loretta relies totally on charitable donations to care for these children. Displaced from their original home in 2001, when a devastating earthquake hit the nearby town of Moquegua, Sister Loretta and the children are still living in temporary accommodations.
Wellspring has two main goals: the first is sustainable support from regular donations so they can ease the burden Sister Loretta faces caring for so many children; the second is raising funds to build a new home to safely house and educate the children. To achieve these goals, Wellspring will be giving presentations to various organizations, performing other fund raising activities and hosting charity motorcycle rides. They will also continue to promote awareness for Hogar Belen through our various media outlets around the world.
