Two Teams to Start the Year

This month, we kicked off 2018 with two teams building two homes for special families. January brought some very chilly temperatures and rain, but both teams, along with our staff and volunteers, did an awesome job. In addition to building houses, they also helped with the children’s nutrition program, taught in our sewing program, formed new relationships and spent time with old friends. It was a great start to the year!

A New Opportunity for Kids

At the end of last year, we launched a new program: our children’s music program! With the support of Malvern School of Music in Pennsylvania, we were able to start teaching guitar classes to children in Reynosa and Naranjito. So far, the children are loving it and are eager to learn more! We are excited to explore more possibilities as we grow the program, and we appreciate the support of MSoM. Dave, the school’s founder and director, was part of one of the teams this month and spent time jamming with Pastor Carlos and Cristian, our church intern and music instructor. Music always unites us!
