| In the Caves Near Varadero thread, there was a mention of an orphanage in Matanzas…Does anyone have any information on this? I was wondering if visitors and donations are welcome…?
Thanks! |

Hi, check out this thread.The address for the Matanzas Orphanage is;
Hogar de Niños sin Amparo Filial de MatanzasCalle 149 #22620entre Avenida 226 y 228Playa Matanzas, Matanzas, Cuba Some of the complaints that I’ve heard from caregivers at orphanages is that hugs weren’t part of the giftgiving plan of travelers, which for the kids is the best gift of all. |
|
| From personal experience, I can report that visitors and donations are indeed very much appreciated at the orphanage in Matanzas.
Next time we go there, we’ll remember to also include lots of hugs for the kids! |

Hugs are awesome – they totally fit in your luggage, have no overweight charges, and are reusable. You will never run out. Makes a great memory, too. One size fits all. ![]("http://images.proboards.com/v5/smiley/wink.png") |

I know that I will be adding this as a stop off during my tour of Varadero/Matanzas! Thanks very much for everyone’s input, and thanks flygt for the link to that amazing thread. ![]("http://images.proboards.com/v5/smiley/cool.png") |

| we plan on going to the orphanage, we are going to be at the Breezes in Nov. When are you going? Just wondering whoever got there first, could send the other an e-mail and tell each other how it went.
we have school supplies, small gifts, toys for the children. |

we have school supplies, small gifts, toys for the children. We’re not going until January. It would be great if you would do a post about your experience, and maybe you’ll have some information and suggestions that would be useful to others going later |
