They are extremely poor and come from rural mountains….There’s been virtually no maintenance to the home in 10 years before we found this important home. We have begun painting rooms and making repairs. We are also giving them basic hygiene and 1st Aid instruction. There is a greenhouse project, sewing needed, even mural painting needed. They’ve asked us to teach games & songs, denstrate/teach in handwork/arts&crafts, help teach basic sports like soccer. The main goals are: Promote Self-Esteem, Health & Hygiene, Job Skills when possible,Teach kids to Help Others(i.e. Lorena Stove construction Wheelchair assembly), and Have Fun!”
