Currently, we have 3 major focus areas: Holistic Care, Integration, and Staff Development. Each of our three major projects incorporates these focus areas.
Pedacito de Cielo, our baby and infant home, provides residential care for up to 12 children, and can accept up to 12 more children during the day for daycare. The focus here is on the integration of children living with or affected by HIV/AIDS and other immunodeficiencies. As this is the first home of its kind in Bolivia, we are regularly training our staff to ensure they are equipped to provide the special care required by these children. Learn more here.
Corazón del Pastor, our home for girls and adolescents, has a capacity of 22 and likewise aims to integrate girls living with special needs, including HIV/AIDS. All of these girls have either been orphaned, abandoned, or removed from high-risk situations. Learn more here.
Finally, in an effort to prevent further children from entering a children's home or the streets, we work directly on an individual basis with impoverished families in need through our outreach One Child at a Time. We believe that by improving the conditions in which a family is living, we can diminish the likelyhood of childhood illness, abandonment, and domestic violence. Learn more here.

Christmas at CDPOn Thursday we celebrated Christmas for the 4th year now with the girls of Corazón del Pastor. Tía Kimber worked with Tías Tania and Noelia to direct a fun and thoughtful nativity theatre. Then, we shared a great big Christmas meal and got ready to open the wonderful presents donated by Elevation church in Canada. We received a surprise visit from the head of the Spanish office of Maxam, with even more toys!
Christmas at PDCWhile it was our 2nd Christmas a PDC, it was our first as a baby home, and it was simply adorable to see the faces light up of our little ones as we celebrated. We shared a festive meal, and the kids all emptied their stockings (with a little help) and open gifts, which were generously purchased by Freeway church in Canada.
Christmas in the CampoToday we return from a 4 day trip to Mizque, where we gave out gifts and Christmas baskets to the children and families of Patawasi and Mina Asientos. These are two impoverished communities, each 7 hours out of Cochabamba. We also provided a warm breakfast, and lots of fun with a parachute, face-painting, and, of course, football. In total, we gave out nearly all of the 280 baskets we put together and the over 1400 toys we brought along with us. Merry Christmas!
