FloreSer (Bloom to be)

The girls shown in the picture below are currently living at FloreSer here in Mazatlan. This is a girl's home that was opened last February, 2009 as a place for troubled teens to take refuge. They now have 9 girls but 3 of them had gone back to their families for the holidays.

Pictured below are 6 of the girls with their home mothers, left, Brenda and, right, Alicia. The girls are from left, Azucena, Lupita, Jenifer, Karen, Alexa and front/floor Rosario. They range in age from 13-17. The home was very clean and comfortable and the girls seemed very happy. They understood more English than they could speak and when we asked what they might need in their home, they were able to get across they needed 2 more lamps. Our good friends, Dick and Jan are taking them the lamps this afternoon. We left them each a small Christmas present.



We went back today and took them some games. They have 2 weeks off from school and the home mother's explained they did not have any games and that would be nice to keep them busy. There were only 3 girls available for this picture and Alexa is holding the game Scattergories with Jenifer and home mother Alisha to her left and Azucena to her right. They seemed to be very excited about this game. The young girl to the right of me was visiting from Canada and was 17 years old. Quite an experience for her.


Below, is a link to information on the grand opening of the home in February 2009.
