We were absolutely blessed recently with a surprise visit. It was one of the “boys” from our Boy’s Club, “Falcons of the Great King” (1998-2004). Denis, 28, now plays for the National Futsal Team (a form of soccer) and is a manager where he works. With homemade hamburgers on the patio, we reminisced our years…
October first, Day of the Child, is heavily celebrated here. Along with food, piñata, races and competitions, the participation of girls from the Señorita Group made it a special day.

They gathered together their entire management team, along with the Board of Directors. We brought them new ideas and techniques to strengthen their on-going character initiative.
In June, two parties were thrown by the Bible Studies to honor Art for Father’s Day. Many of the children here are fatherless for one reason or another. Though Art helps to fill that role in their lives, we all know our God is truly the Father of the fatherless. “A father to the fatherless,…
Upon our return from out of town, the Lady’s Bible Study welcomed us with a special lunch, honoring us for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. An Aunt with her two nieces formed a trio and dedicated beautiful songs to us. Great food (including a special bread), joyful smiles and warm hugs reminded us of why we…
The Lady’s Bible Study celebrates Mother’s Day in a big way here. About fifty ladies and children enjoyed hot food and silly games in the backyard.
