The New Drop in Center

These are some of the youth and kids who will benefit from the drop in center. At the center meals will be provided, they can shower, they will be taught more from the word of God, and it will be a safe environment for them to hang out in.

The Craziest Field Trip Ever

Our team made an awesome connection with a Christian school for squatter kids in February. We wanted to help the school out and bless the children with a field trip. So back in March we boarded 60 very excited kids on a bus for the trip. Before the bus was even moving the little girl beside me was holding a rag over her face and looked like she could puke. 'Come on' I thought. 'we haven't even started to move yet!' Then we did start to move and about two minutes later she puked. So I sent her up front thinking that if she goes up there it might not be as bad because she can see out the front. WRONG!! That didn't help at all. In fact, about 1/3 of the kids that day puked every time we were on the bus. It was unbelievable!! At every stop all us leaders would collect all the kids barf bags and put it in one big barf bag. Never have we seen so many kids barfing at once. We never even thought to take into consideration that these kids have never traveled on a bus before. hahaha...now we know. Despite this, I definitely can't say it was a bad experience. Most of the kids have never been out of the area they live. The places we visited were out of the city so the kids saw mountains, lush jungle areas, a dairy farm and factories for the first time. The look on their faces was priceless. Especially when they saw the mountains.

This is the little girl that I held a barf bag for the entire trip

Jollibee, which is a fast food restaurant, was our last stop. Spaghetti totally looks the same coming up as it did going down.
