the GIRL’S HOME CONCERT
Founded in 1920 as the Bella Vista Children’s Home, by Bishop James Craik Morris, the first Episcopal Bishop in Panama, the Fundación Hogar de Niñas de la Capital, or the Girls´ Home as it is more commonly known, is run by the Episcopal Church of Panamá. Originally located in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Panama City as the first institution of its kind in the Republic of Panama, today the Girls Home is located in the San Andres neighborhood of Las Cumbres, on the outskirts of the city.
In its early years, the home accommodated both boys and girls, preparing them for responsible and productive lives. After 70 years in Bella Vista and more than 600 children later, the new home for girls in Los Andes was dedicated in 1996.
This year, this wonderful institution is 100! In celebration, a benefit concert is planned for October 4 at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Please join in honoring the home, past and present, on that day. General Entrance is $25 or whatever your heart wishes. Options for donating:
