We bring donations of clothes, school supplies, medications, as well as food items. There are also times of loving and teaching the children and adolescents of the towns. We focus on teaching them values that Jesus held. Some of the home situations are very tough, so it is a time for these children to have fun while growing as well.
In some of the projects, the staff and students set up soccer training camps. The reason I love this so much is that it gives the kids a chance to have a father-figure in their lives for a short time. Many of the fathers are distant or absent from the families in these small towns. It is a great way for these children to experience the love of a Heavenly Father as well. Here is a little info about the trip (if you can read Spanish, if not, the pictures are pretty!)...
There is also a blog for the project that you can explore and see some more picture slide shows and videos of projects in the past. http://proyectovalles.blogspot.com/
Keep us and the preparations in your prayers!
