Milk Project in action

Sometimes I am really proud of those that work in the mission.  Ok...most of the time I am.  But, case in point, during the celebration last month for Children's Day, there was one child from the Milk Project that could not be there, one of our newest children, Luis.  He had surgery and won't be up walking for some time.  So some of the volunteers and children just decided to take the party to him.  

This is the kind of creative and loving thinking we love to see.

We are also going to be working on some creative thinking going forward in the project in general.  We are seeing that as the children age, and we want to help them try to get through high school, that there are other factors other than financial ability that can hold them back, including family pressure to drop out and start working full time as early as 13 or 14.  

There are some things we cannot control, but we are trying to look ahead and in different areas/ways, to see how we can continue to improve and show Christ's love to the kids and their families.  Pray for our volunteers and staff as they daily do this work, and for them and the mission leadership as we continue to strive to see how we can improve this already great program into the future.  

More to come soon about the beginning of the Milk Project in Sampedrana!
