Mil Abrazos is Spanish for ‘a thousand hugs.’ We thought this was a good name for our annual online fundraising campaign for a couple of reasons. When children enter the ProNiño centers, they have already been through a lot. Many of their lives, even those as young as 6 or 7, have been touched by violence, neglect and abuse. Despite all this, the children are incredibly affectionate and simply want someone to listen and sincerely care about them. In short, a hug.While many of our supporters are able to visit the centers each year, most try to stay in touch through letters, videos and pictures. We thought this would be a great way for those that care enough to support the children in ProNiño to send down ‘a thousand hugs.’ However, instead of only a thousand, our goal this year is to send forty thousand hugs to ProNiño through the Mil Abrazos campaign. We’re grateful for your support!
