The Flying Pig Marathon was held in Cincinnati on May 6th. The El Hogar Flying Pig Running Team had 50 runners and walkers in this year's events, and I am told by other charity groups that this is a great showing for a first year's effort. The Flying Pig had over 30,000 participants over 2 days and many more friends, family, and spectators. We have already recruited over 100 additional runners for 2013. Please see the Flying Pig website for more information.



The Service Team season has begun at El Hogar. There have been two teams there in February with more scheduled in March and beyond. Although many teams are understandably concerned about the security situation, and two have chosen to cancel their trips, the rest are thus far keeping their plans to go to El Hogar this year. Please be in touch with us if you would like to talk about your upcoming trip.


The new school year at El Hogar has just begun. Visit the El Hogar Ministries Facebook page to see some photos.


For those who sponsor a student at the elementary program, their end-of-year Progress Reports are available as a pdf file (14.7 MB). Search the pdf file for your student’s name, or peruse the whole file to see how the children ended their year.
