Cuidad de los Niños
Joyce Versteeg and President Pamela Lake make a visit to Cuidad de los Niños
One of the many charities Rotary Club Marbella-Guadalmina supports

We were very impressed at how incredibly clean and tidy everything was. We visited the dormitories, each one sleeping about 5 children and each had a bathroom with showers, toilets etc. So it’s well and simply equipped.
There are 3 common areas to relax, read etc. All the furniture has come from donations. The boys are well disciplined in keeping everything tidy.

The orphanages are part of a Society called Golf In the Sun and was started by a couple, Marie and Barry who in 1950 created the first orphanage and the Malaga one in 1977. They collaborate with the Junta de Andalucia who maintains the upkeep of the buildings. Donations come from everywhere that helps with the upkeep, food,
clothing and there is a long list.
We, RC Marbella-Guadalmina have donated mattress covers earlier in the year for the new mattresses they received and are presently waiting for members to vote for bedspreads which is on the website. Later in the year we will be asking Members to vote for blankets. After such a long time it is the bedding that badly needs to be
renewed so as to keep the children warm and cared for.

This is the link to a short video on the orphanage which is quite informative. https://cnmalaga.es/video/
I will make sure our club is mentioned as a donor.
