This Friday, September 27th, the Patronato Benéfico Oriental (PBO) requests your attendance at a very special edition of Café de la Leche. The event, which will be hosted by Amelia Pereyra at The Living Room by Good Vibe in Altos de Chavón, marks 18 years since the beginning of the monthly gatherings that began in 2001!
Through the contributions of Café de la Leche, PBO is able to supply the Crib Room at the Hogar del Niño with more than 80% of the milk used to nourish more than 200 babies daily. In total, that’s 800 bottles per day!
The success of the Crib Room continues to rise since it first opened its doors. A few years ago the Hogar del Niño replaced the cribs for corrals creating open formats ideal for the babies to crawl around, play together and with toys, easily interact and nap side by side. With the supervision of many nurses and caretakers, the babies are healthy and happy. PBO also continues to break their fundraising record through their “Adopt a Crib” program, the sum of which was put towards many superior initiatives at the schools, including changes in the Crib Room, a sports pavilion, Montessori classrooms, and extra-curricular activities.
Let’s continue the excitement of one of Casa de Campo’s favorite events and come celebrate their 18th year THIS Friday! And remember, men are welcome too so don’t leave them at home!
