Gift of Identity
For many transcultural adoptees, the greatest gift they can receive is the gift of identity— of reconnecting with their birth country, their culture, their caregivers, places of birth and founding, and sometimes their birth family.
The Gift of Identity Fund, Ltd was created to help provide funding for international adoptees who would like to visit their birth-country, but are not financially able to do so. International adoptees traveling are awarded funds, helping defray the cost of travel. Grants up to $3,000.00 are available. The number of grants given each cycle depends on the size of the fund. Give the Gift of Identity and donate today.

El Amor de Patricia
El Amor de Patricia was established in 2008 as a safe and loving shelter for abandoned and neglected children outside of Antigua, Guatemala. The organization's mission is to empower Guatemalan children, families, and communities to achieve their full potential. In 2014, El Amor de Patricia began its collaboration with the village of Yalu, located outside of Sumpango, Guatemala, to provide education, life skills, clean water, beds, and other necessary resources to community members.

Peru
Jorge's Beach Day
Every year, a special day of joy unfolds at Chavez de la Rosa Orphanage in Arequipa. Many Ties families are familiar with our Peruvian guide, Jorge, whose compassionate heart extends beyond our travelers to the children at the orphanage in his hometown.
For 27 years, Jorge has organized a beach day for 60 children and caregivers, creating a day of sun, sand, and water fun. The children also enjoy a special treat of ice cream and lunch. Jorge partners with us to raise funds for this event annually. We deeply admire Jorge's dedication to this cause and are grateful to Ties families for their generous donations over the years. This annual "field trip" brings immense joy to children who have so little.
