A lot of things can happen when groups of people cross cultural and economic lines, not to mention continents.
Experiences occur that change lives, change attitudes, form understandings of why such poverty exists alongside such wealth, why some suffer so much more than others, and where God is in the midst of this poverty and suffering.
Our goal with visiting teams is not to simply provide them with projects - although this is part of what we do. What we seek first and foremost is to facilitate opportunity to change, that team members might engage with the reality that faces the children we serve, learning where they come from, and where - without appropriate and loving intervention - they could end up.
Generally, there are three components of a team visit with Niños con Valor.
First, a reality tour that shows both the lighter and the darker sides of Cochabamba, and particularly how this reality impacts children.
Second, a work component allowing teams to invest in a specific program that is either run by our foundation, or run by another organization we are connected with, building relationships with the children of that program.
And third, opportunity for reflection and discussion on these experiences with our long-term volunteer staff.
If you are interested in putting together a team and coming down to Bolivia, please write our team coordinator Kimber.
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!
