Children in Honduras suffering the effects of European recession

The news has been full of Europe's present economic troubles. Spain, in particular, has been suffering with over 20% unemployment. The repercussions of this are being felt in the children's Home (Vida y Libertad) in Siguatepeque, Honduras. Most of the financing of this Home has been from Spain. Lately, a number of sponsors have been added from Canada (mostly Quebec). And a very necessary protective wall around the property is being planned by Fellowship Baptist Church in Fort MacMurray (Project Nehemiah).  Unfortunately, due to the financial difficulties in Spain, much, if not most, of the funding from that country has been cut off. As a result it is becoming difficult to pay for personnel, to give a good Christmas celebration to the children, to pay for basics such as food, transportation to school, etc.  I'm wondering if some Canadian churches and individuals might be willing to take up the slack.
Below you can see a picture of the children celebrating Christmas in the past, and another of the Home as seen from outside.
