Cheers to a Great Year
Holidays are restorative. They’re a time for us to slow down, consider what’s important, and spend time with friends and family. In 2021, we all rediscovered our normal; these family and respite times have been even more critical.
Why we don’t accept teenagers at Bolingo Village.
By this point, you may have noticed that all of our children are younger; most of our kids are under ten years old. That's because Blingo Village tries to welcome new children that six years old or younger.
We do this for a couple of reasons:
To encourage family bonding.
To assist in overcoming trauma.
To reduce the likelihood of sexual abuse between our kids.
Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021
In 2020, everyone, all around the world, had life interrupted. Bolingo Village was no different. The kids had to adjust to a new schedule, a new normal; but they still had food, they had a home, a foster mom, siblings, a place where they belonged, felt safe, and loved.

New Year, New Goals
We are building something that will quite literally transform lives for orphaned and vulnerable children in the countries we serve. We work for those children. If we do our job well, we’ll create something that matters as much to them as it does to us, and all of our lives will be better for it.
