Summer Group Visitation Questionnaire

We look forward to your upcoming visit to Casa de la Esperanza with great anticipation. We trust that those of you who have visited with us before will be pleasantly surprised with the progress that continues to be made here at Casa. At present, 16 churches are scheduled to visit Casa this spring break and summer and we continue to receive inquiries from others for the first time. God is blessing the work in many ways, especially in the ever improving care and progress we evidence in the development of the children.

In preparation for your visit, please take a few minutes and respond to the following questions. Your answers will help us in our planning as well as in our ability to assist you in which ever way possible. We realize that some of your responses are going to be approximations and/or your best guest; however, they will be very helpful to us in this early planning stage. We would like for you to return this questionnaire by March 1st for Spring Break visitors and by April 1st for our summer visitors. Thank you for your timely response.
