World Orphans Day · November 9, 2026
Sharing Our Light Beyond the Candle
At Colonial Candle®, giving back has always been part of who we are. For more than 110 years, we’ve poured candles that bring warmth, light, and happiness into American homes and beyond.
World Orphans Day is Monday, November 9, a day to pause from our busy lives and reflect on how we can make the world a little brighter for children who lack the love and support of a family.
Each purchase helps us share warmth beyond our candles, touching lives and brightening futures. We invite our Colonial Candle community to join us. Together, let’s spread light, love, and hope where it’s needed most.
About The Good Shepherd Children’s Home, Guatemala
- 200+children served since 2014
- 41children served in 2026 so far
- 30%+with mild to severe disabilities
The Good Shepherd Children’s Home, Guatemala, provides physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual care to disadvantaged children in a nurturing Christian environment. At least 30% of the children live with mild to severe disabilities resulting from fetal alcohol syndrome, malnutrition, or physical and emotional abuse.
Older children attend school and receive tutoring to reach age-appropriate levels, along with classes in music, sports, and computer skills. They are active in their community church, singing in the choir, attending Sunday School, and competing on a Bible quiz team, which gives them a true sense of family and belonging.
The ministry also runs a weekly medical clinic for the local community and hosts medical mission teams from the U.S. who serve the surrounding villages. The Good Shepherd Children's Home, Guatemala, is an affiliate of Baptist Children’s Homes of North Carolina.
