A Dose of Hope | April 2025

Dear Tracy,

Happy Spring! This season reminds us of new beginnings and a fresh start is only a bloom away. At Saranam, families experience the same fresh start and renewed hope as they grow and get on a new path for themselves and their families.

One of our events this month is the perfect opportunity to bring new hope to people you know at our Dreaming of Home Breakfast on Thursday, April 10. At the breakfast, we introduce Saranam to community members who don't know about our organization and all the amazing transformations the families achieve during and after the program.

If you are interested in attending and bringing NEW people to Saranam, reach out to Dianne Campbell for more details. RSVPs are required, so please contact Dianne at dcampbell@saranamabq.org or (505) 934-9110 by April 3.

Thank you for your support today and everyday!

Educational Successes in 2025

Parents at Saranam have been working hard in the classrooms and have already achieved so many successes on their educational path. We are so grateful to our instructors, tutors, and parents for their hard work and dedication in helping families reach their goals! Since January of this year, these are some exciting accomplishments:

Welcome to our new Education Coordinator

We are happy to welcome Amy Carpenter as our Education Coordinator. Amy has been an amazing instructor and we are happy she will join our staff full-time. She will work with the instructors and staff to provide a structured program designed to help the residents realize their potential as parents, students, and life-long learners.

During her career, she has served as a public school teacher, curriculum director, grant director and a principal.

With Gratitude

Thank you Sandia National Laboratories for selecting Saranam to receive a grant to continue transforming families to end their homelessness and poverty. Their successes bring them hope for a brighter future for themselves and generations to come.

Thank You, Students!

Recently, there have been lots of students from area schools volunteering with Saranam. Thank you to the classes and groups from: Sandia Prep, Hope Christian School, ABQ Academy, and Bosque School. We are so grateful for all they did to make our campuses beautiful places for our families to learn and play.

Yummy Meal Kits

Thank you to Refuge Church for making meal kits for the families at ADC Family Campus. It was such a great way to introduce new recipes and get families excited about being in the kitchen together. We sure filled our bellies and hearts with this recipe. Here's the recipe if you'd like to try something new!
