What a joyful week it has been! Thanks to your generosity, the children of El Rodeo and El Patricinio are now ready to start the new school year—with school supplies in hand and smiles that melted our hearts.
In El Rodeo, we partnered with Pastor Esvin, and in El Patricinio, with Pastor Oralio. These faithful local leaders helped us distribute school supplies directly to children in their communities—children who might otherwise have been unable to attend school this year.
Each smile we saw reminded us why this work matters.
Your support during our 2024 Giving Tuesday School Supplies Drive has reached even more children living in extreme poverty—kids whose families often can’t afford basic supplies like notebooks, pencils, and crayons. Many of these children walk long distances just to attend school, and your generosity has made their journey worthwhile.
Thanks to you:
- More children can enroll in school this February.
- Parents are filled with relief, knowing their children can learn.
- Pastors like Esvin and Oralio can continue encouraging families with practical support and spiritual hope.
As we watched children clutch their new backpacks and flip through their notebooks, we saw more than school supplies—we saw opportunity, dignity, and joy.
From our hearts to yours: thank you for making this possible.
Together, we’re building brighter futures—one child, one village, one gift at a time.
